Serpentine Coolup

Serpentine and Coolup (L) are two Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Serpentine is more affluent, with 32.1% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to 16.2% in Coolup (L). Residents in Serpentine are more likely to be working or looking for work (68.2% versus 58.1%) and typically pay much higher monthly mortgage payments, which are $2,200 compared to $1,408 in Coolup (L). Their walkability differs sharply; while 45.4% of Serpentine homes are near a park, 73.7% of Coolup (L) homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

Both areas share a very similar housing style, with almost no one renting and an identical average of 3.0 people per home. They are also equally unlikely to have residents who speak little or no English. While they share these traits, other gaps have shifted since 2011. The difference in high-income households has narrowed, but the gap in employment has widened. Meanwhile, the lead has flipped in several areas, with Coolup (L) now having more people in de facto relationships and a higher share of volunteers than Serpentine.
