Kenwick Langford

Kenwick and Langford are neighbouring areas in Perth's east, both with populations of over 5,500 people. Kenwick is dominated by separate houses, which are far more common there than in Langford at 97.8%. It also has a much higher share of homes within walking distance of groceries (84.1% compared to 25.3%) and health services. In contrast, Langford is more diverse, with 51.2% of people born overseas and a far higher share using a language other than English at home (48.0% versus 37.7%). Langford also has significantly more public transport options, with over 3,157 departures per 1,000 people.

These two areas share a very similar social fabric, with almost identical rates of unpaid care, volunteering, and children under 15. Both areas have a high proportion of people born overseas compared to the national figure. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are notable; for instance, Langford's First Nations unemployment rate is far higher at 23.8%, while Kenwick has a larger First Nations population and a higher share of people who speak a First Nations language.
