Carmel Herne Hill

Carmel (L) and Herne Hill (L) are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Carmel (L) is far wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,281 compared to $1,388 in Herne Hill (L). Education levels are also much higher in Carmel (L), where 21.4% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, while only 3.0% do in Herne Hill (L). In contrast, Herne Hill (L) is more walkable, with a score of 4.3 (somewhat walkable) compared to 1.9 (car-dependent) in Carmel (L), and nearly all its homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to their housing, with about three people per home and over 90% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. This shared domestic scale exists alongside shifting trends, as the gap in the typical age of residents has narrowed from 24 years in 2011 to just four years today. While Herne Hill (L) has a far higher share of people with no religion (48.4% versus 36.7% in Carmel (L)), both areas have a much higher proportion of children under 15 than the national figure.
