Lancelin Cervantes

Lancelin and Cervantes are two small Western Australian towns with very different profiles. Lancelin is a more transient and diverse community, where 27.2% of people were born overseas and 40.6% have moved there in the last five years. This openness is reflected in the housing market, with renting far higher in Lancelin at 34.1% compared to just 15.9% in Cervantes. In contrast, Cervantes has a more stable, home-owning population, with 54.9% of homes owned outright. Access to basics also differs; while 90% of Lancelin homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, no homes in Cervantes share that convenience.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who do not identify with a religion. They are also very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which are around $1,040. While they share these commonalities, the gaps between them are shifting. The difference in overseas births and the use of languages other than English have both widened since 2011, making Lancelin stand further apart from Cervantes in these areas.
