Karnup Port Kennedy

Port Kennedy and Karnup are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different layouts. Port Kennedy is a larger hub where 88.6% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, making it somewhat walkable. In contrast, Karnup is mostly car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and a much longer typical walk to the nearest stop. There are also notable differences for First Nations people; those in Karnup have a far higher typical personal income of $885 and a higher Year 12 completion rate of 72.2%, while unemployment is far higher in Port Kennedy.

The two areas are very similar in their typical weekly family incomes, which sit around $2,100, and both have a similar share of people who have served in the Defence Force. They also share a similar proportion of residents born overseas, both sitting well above the national figure. While Karnup has a younger population—with a typical age of 30 compared to 36 in Port Kennedy—both areas have a high share of children and a low share of people aged 65 and over.
