Beverley Wandering

Beverley and Wandering are two rural Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Beverley is an older area where 33.5% of people are aged 65 and over, which helps explain why long-term health conditions are far higher there at 36.2%. It is also more walkable; 43.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 48.6% are near health services, giving it a mostly car-dependent score of 3.2. In contrast, Wandering is car-dependent, with a score of 0.3, and has a much higher typical weekly household income of $1,687 compared to $1,053 in Beverley.

The gap in typical weekly income has widened since 2011, but the two areas share many similarities. They have nearly identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and a typical weekly rent of $200. Both are located about 85 to 89 minutes from the city and have similar levels of unpaid care and housework. While Beverley has a higher share of people born overseas, both areas sit well below the national figure for this measure.
