Kings Park Nedlands

Nedlands and Kings Park (WA) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Nedlands is a larger residential hub where 18.2% of people are children and 60.0% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Kings Park (WA) is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical resident aged 61 and no children under 15. Wealth is high in both, but typical weekly incomes are far higher in Kings Park (WA), where the usual personal income is $2,150 compared to $1,121 in Nedlands.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Nedlands becoming more mobile as 40.7% of residents moved in the last five years. They do share some traits, such as a very small Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and similar transit times to the city. Both are also completely walkable to a park, though Nedlands has far more people working or looking for work and a much larger share of the population reporting no religion.
