Boddington Collie

Collie and Boddington are two regional Western Australian areas with very different levels of advantage. Boddington has much higher access to money and resources and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (11.0% compared to 5.8% in Collie). Collie is more walkable for many residents, with 69.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school compared to just 26.8% in Boddington. There is also a sharp contrast among First Nations residents; the typical age is far lower in Collie (21 years) and the unemployment rate is far higher (21.9%) than in Boddington, where the typical age is 29 and unemployment is 8.8%.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways. The gap in Year 12 completion has widened, and Boddington now has a higher share of people born overseas. At the same time, they remain very similar in other areas, such as having almost the same proportion of First Nations residents and the same number of public transport stops. Both areas are far from the city, though the drive time is far higher in Boddington.
