Kenwick Queens Park

Queens Park (WA) and Kenwick are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Queens Park (WA) is much more diverse and highly qualified, with 56.0% of people born overseas and 32.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. It is also more connected, with far more public transport departures and a typical commute to the city that is 26 minutes shorter than in Kenwick. In contrast, Kenwick is dominated by detached housing, which makes up 97.8% of homes, and has much better access to health services, with 70.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk compared to just 2.9% in Queens Park (WA).

Both areas share similar family structures, with about 20% of the population being children under 15 and an identical average of 2.7 people per home.
