Armadale York

York and Armadale are two different Western Australian settings, with York being a smaller, much older community. The typical resident in York is 56, which is 21 years older than the typical person in Armadale. This age gap is seen in the home ownership and family patterns; 47.9% of York homes are owned outright, while 21.6% are in Armadale.
