Mount Magnet Carnamah

Mount Magnet (L) and Carnamah (L) are two small Western Australian towns with distinct social profiles. Mount Magnet (L) has a much higher share of one-parent families (24.7% compared to 5.1% in Carnamah (L)) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (9.4% versus 4.5%). In contrast, Carnamah (L) is more walkable and accessible, with 86.5% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to just 15.4% in Mount Magnet (L). Carnamah (L) also has a higher proportion of people who have completed Year 12 (34.2% versus 19.7%) and those who volunteer (28.3% versus 15.1%).

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in the number of people who have moved in the last five years has widened significantly, and the difference in adults working or looking for work has also grown. However, they remain alike in other areas; both have a similar typical household income (around $1,200 to $1,240 a week) and about 40% of their homes are owned outright.
