Kambalda West Leonora

Kambalda West and Leonora (L) are two Western Australian towns with very different profiles. Kambalda West is a wealthier area where 30.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 12.9% in Leonora (L). It is also more family-oriented, with a higher share of children under 15 (22.6% vs 14.8%) and far more large homes, as 85.2% have three or more bedrooms compared to 61.8% in Leonora (L). In contrast, Leonora (L) has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 19.6%, while Kambalda West sits at 6.4%.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as having nearly the same share of people born overseas (around 18%) and almost identical rates of people completing Year 12. However, the gap in wealth and housing has widened since 2011. The difference in language use has also shifted, with a far higher share of people now using a language other than English at home in Leonora (L) than in Kambalda West.
