Carnamah Leeman

Leeman (L) and Carnamah (L) are two small Western Australian towns with distinct characters. Leeman (L) is a much older community, where the typical resident is 57 and homes tend to be larger, with 83.7% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Carnamah (L) is more active and walkable; it is far more likely to have people working or looking for work (54.0%) and a higher share of residents who have moved in the last five years (42.3%). Carnamah (L) is very walkable, while Leeman (L) is car-dependent.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several key measures. The age gap has widened significantly, with residents now far older in Leeman (L), and the typical personal income in Carnamah (L) has risen to be well higher than in Leeman (L). Despite these shifts, they remain alike in some ways, such as having almost no recent overseas arrivals and a similar share of detached houses.
