South Kumminin Wadderin

Wadderin and South Kumminin are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Wadderin has a far older population, with a typical resident aged 43 compared to 35 in South Kumminin. There are also stark differences in home ownership and education; Wadderin has far more homes owned outright (70.4% vs 46.7%) and every single home has three or more bedrooms, while South Kumminin has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (20.3% vs 8.5%).

These two nearby areas share a very similar way of life, with nearly identical typical family incomes and the same total lack of public transport. However, the gap in home ownership has widened over time, as Wadderin has seen its share of homes owned outright rise far more than South Kumminin. This difference is consistent with the age gap, as Wadderin's older residents are more likely to have paid off their mortgages.
