Koongamia Midvale

Midvale and Koongamia are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different social profiles. Midvale is far more diverse, with 37.1% of people born overseas and 29.5% using a language other than English at home. It is also more transient, with 56.1% of residents moving in during the last five years. In contrast, Koongamia has a higher share of detached houses (92.7%) and a larger proportion of people who identify as having no religion (51.8%).

Daily life is similar in both places, as they share nearly identical unemployment rates, typical weekly rents and commute times to the city. Both areas also have the same proportion of people per bedroom and everyone lives within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, the gap in accessibility is wide; while 100% of Koongamia homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services and schools, only 16.4% of Midvale homes have that easy access to health services.
