Boddington Harvey

Harvey and Boddington are two Western Australian areas with very different scales and accessibility. Harvey is the larger hub, with 16 schools and far more public transport options, while Boddington is more isolated, with a drive time to the city that is far higher. Harvey has a more diverse population, with more people born overseas (19.3%) and a higher share of those who use another language at home (7.8%). In contrast, Boddington has a higher proportion of people earning $2,000 or more a week (19.4%) and a much higher rate of volunteering (25.1%).

Both areas are very similar when it comes to typical household incomes and the percentage of people aged 65 and over. They also share a high proportion of large homes, with both having a much higher share of three or more bedrooms than the national figure. Over time, some gaps have widened, such as the difference in the share of people born overseas, while others have narrowed, including the gap in the share of people in de facto relationships.
