Koondoola Malaga

Koondoola and Malaga are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in their makeup. Koondoola is a residential area where 20.8% of people are children and 47.6% were born overseas. In contrast, Malaga is sparsely populated and much older, with no children under 15 and a typical resident aged 43. There is also a vast gap in wealth; the typical weekly personal income in Malaga is $1,350, which is far higher than the $483 seen in Koondoola.

Both areas share very similar school advantage scores and are located about 18 minutes from the city. While they are close in distance, their daily lives differ, as Koondoola is far more walkable with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. This contrast with Malaga's sparsely populated nature is mirrored in the income gap, which has widened over time.
