Canning Vale in the Census

A suburb of houses and young families

Counts for the Canning Vale suburb and locality (ABS SAL50245) from 2021 Census QuickStats, read on 12 October 2026.

Canning Vale headline counts
Measure	Value
People	34,504
Median age	37
Families	9,386
Private dwellings	11,053
People per household	3.1
Bedrooms per dwelling	3.9

Canning Vale shares against Western Australia
Share	Canning Vale	WA
Separate houses	94.4% (9,854)	79.7%
Couple families with children	57.7% (5,417)	44.6%
Residents aged 15 to 19	7.2% (2,481)	5.8%
Drove a car to work	66.5% (11,553)	62.1%

Equal age bands

The Census counted exactly 2,394 residents aged 5 to 9 and another 2,394 aged 10 to 14. Equal numbers in real data turn out to matter in the project below.

Two councils

Our grid test puts about 61% of the suburb's area in the City of Canning and 39% in the City of Gosnells. The suburb figures here cover both parts.

Census timing

The 2021 Census was taken during the pandemic, so the share driving to work describes that particular week.

The ABS rounds percentages and slightly adjusts small counts to protect privacy, so table parts may not sum to totals. We quote its figures exactly and do not add rows together.

Signature project

Eight functions that all read Year 6

The Department of Education list gives student numbers for every year level at each WA school, as at the 2026 Semester 1 census. Our map test finds five government primary schools inside the Canning Vale outline. Learners want one small function per year level, so they write a loop.

The suburb's largest government primary: published numbers vs what the loop-built functions return (our run)
Year level	Published	Buggy function	Fixed function
Kindergarten	81	130	81
Pre-primary	90	130	90
Year 1	118	130	118
Year 2	125	130	125
Year 3	135	130	135
Year 4	133	130	133
Year 5	127	130	127
Year 6	130	130	130

Why it happens

Each lambda stores the name of the loop variable, not its value. Python looks the name up when the function runs, and by then the loop has finished on Y06.

33 of 40 wrong

Across five schools and eight year levels, 33 lookups return the wrong number. The bug is total, yet it does not crash and every output looks like a plausible enrolment.

7 lucky passes

Five checks pass because Year 6 is genuinely Year 6. Two more pass because one school has 64 students in both Year 4 and Year 6, and another has 38 in both Year 5 and Year 6.

The testing lesson

A learner who tested only the last item, or happened to pick a school with matching numbers, would ship the bug. Good tests use values that cannot coincide. Here that means checking a year where the published figure differs from Year 6, at more than one school.

Student numbers come from the WA Department of Education schools list, downloaded on 12 October 2026. Which schools sit inside the ABS outline is decided by our own point-in-polygon test on the list's coordinates. The lookups, counts and checks are our own script; schools are described by size rather than named.

Fixing the closure

Capture the value, not the name

The fix is one short change: give each lambda a default argument, yl=yl, which is evaluated once, at the moment the function is created.

How the lesson runs
Step	Learner task
1	Read the schools list and keep government primaries inside Canning Vale.
2	Build a dict of eight getters with a comprehension and print every result.
3	Count wrong lookups, then list the lucky passes and explain each one.
4	Apply the default-argument fix, or a small factory function, and rerun the checks.

A second dataset makes the point again. The suburb's government secondary college lists 247 students in Year 8 and 247 in Year 11. A getter that wrongly read Year 11 would pass a Year 8 check there and fail nowhere else in that row. Learners write a rule of thumb for their notebooks: before trusting a test, ask whether the wrong answer could equal the right one.

Younger learners

Label boxes with sticky notes, move the last note onto every box, and spot why each box now says the same thing.

Teenagers

Reproduce the bug, fix it two ways, and design tests that a coincidence cannot pass.

Adults

Find the same pattern in callbacks, event handlers and loops that schedule work in real code.

Canning Vale facts

Schools, area and the 2027 calendar

Details from the Department of Education list, the ABS boundaries and the 2027 term dates.

Seven government schools

Inside the outline our test finds five primary schools, one senior high college and one education support centre.

Across the boundary

Four of those seven sit on the City of Gosnells side and three on the City of Canning side, by the same test.

Term 1, 2027

WA public schools start on Monday 1 February 2027; the first term closes on Friday 9 April.

Outline used

Canning Vale is the ABS suburb outline of about 25.3 square kilometres. Council shares come from our own test of a regular grid of points against the two ABS council outlines.

Python and AI

Will AI assistants avoid this bug?

Not reliably, and that is the reason to understand it.

Closures created in loops are a classic trap, and AI assistants still write them, especially in callbacks and dictionary comprehensions. The code runs, the numbers look sensible, and nothing warns you.

A Canning Vale learner who has watched 33 lookups go wrong will recognise the pattern in generated code at a glance, and will know to test with values that cannot coincide.

Our Python classes treat AI output as a draft that still needs a proper test. The longer argument is in why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026.

FAQ

Canning Vale coding and Python questions

Common questions from Canning Vale families and adult learners.

How many people live in Canning Vale?

The 2021 Census counted 34,504 people in the Canning Vale suburb, with a median age of 37.

Which council is Canning Vale in?

Both. Our test of the ABS outlines puts about 61% of its area in the City of Canning and 39% in the City of Gosnells.

What is a closure in Python?

A function that remembers variables from the place where it was created. It remembers the variable itself, not a snapshot of its value.

What does late binding mean?

Python looks up a closure's free variables when the function is called. In a loop, that is usually after the loop has ended.

What age can children start Python?

Many start typed Python at about 9 or 10 after some block coding. The trial lesson checks readiness.

Where do the school numbers come from?

From the WA Department of Education schools list, which gives student numbers by year level as at the 2026 Semester 1 census.

Do you have a centre in Canning Vale?

No. Lessons are live online only, we have no Australian office, and our listed phone number is Indian.

What do Canning Vale classes cost?

The first lesson is free. Group classes cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, in groups of fifteen to twenty, and one-to-one classes cost USD 150 a month. You agree the course and time before paying.

How are learners grouped?

By level and pace in groups of fifteen to twenty, not by age or suburb. One-to-one lessons suit anyone no group time fits.

Can adults learn Python with you?

Yes. Adults join adult groups or private lessons, often to automate tasks at work.
