Kojonup Darkan

Kojonup (L) and Darkan (L) are two Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Kojonup (L) is more populous and diverse, with 21.2% of people arriving recently from overseas and a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (10.0%). It also has more households earning $3,000 or more a week (11.3%) and a higher share of renters at 39.0%. In contrast, Darkan (L) has a smaller, older population where the typical resident is 52. This area sees more people in full-time work (67.2%) and more homes owned outright (41.9%).

Both areas are somewhat walkable and have very similar levels of people working from home. While they share these everyday patterns, other gaps are shifting. For example, the difference in typical weekly family income has narrowed to $385, and the gap in the number of children under 15 has flipped since 2011. Meanwhile, the difference in the number of people using another language at home has widened, as this is now well higher in Kojonup (L) than in Darkan (L).
