Chidlow Carmel

Chidlow (L) and Carmel (L) are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different social and physical profiles. Chidlow (L) is far more likely to have residents with no religion (60.4% compared to 36.7% in Carmel (L)) and has much better access to public transport and health services within a 15-minute walk. In contrast, Carmel (L) has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (21.4% versus 8.8%) and more people who completed Year 12 (61.7% compared to 42.3% in Chidlow (L)).

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the share of people born overseas, which sits at around 21%. They also share similar levels of unemployment and the same total lack of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. While some gaps have narrowed, such as the difference in the proportion of older people, others have widened; the gap in typical weekly household income has grown since 2011, with Carmel (L) now well above Chidlow (L).
