Kambalda East Kambalda West

Kambalda West and Kambalda East are nearby Western Australian areas with distinct profiles. Kambalda West is the wealthier of the two, with 30.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 19.2% in Kambalda East. It also has a much larger share of adults working or looking for work (58.4% versus 43.9% in Kambalda East) and a higher proportion of people born overseas (18.5% versus 14.8%). In contrast, Kambalda East is generally more walkable; it has far more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, and parks, and 6.02 schools per 1,000 children compared to 2.67 in Kambalda West.

These differences contrast with several shared traits, as both areas have almost identical proportions of people aged 65 and over and very similar numbers of public transport stops. However, the gap in household wealth is widening, as Kambalda West's share of high earners has moved further away from the national figure than Kambalda East's. While both areas see far fewer people completing Year 12 than the national figure, Kambalda West is slightly more qualified, with 31.5% finishing school compared to 23.3% in Kambalda East.
