Bunbury Dardanup

Bunbury and Dardanup are nearby areas in Western Australia with very different layouts. Bunbury is a more urban centre where 68.9% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed, and it has far more public transport stops and schools. Dardanup is more rural, with a typical weekly household income of $1,746—well higher than Bunbury's $1,326. Dardanup also has a much higher share of separate houses at 92.2% and a higher proportion of families with children. In contrast, Bunbury has a far higher share of renters (34.1%) and people living alone (34.0%).

Since 2011, some of these gaps have shifted as the two areas have tracked in different directions. The difference in rental rates and the gap in typical household incomes have both widened, while the gap in the number of children has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain very alike in some ways. Both areas have nearly identical rates of volunteering, people who served in the Defence Force, and people who speak a First Nations language. They also share a similar typical personal income and an almost identical share of homes owned outright.
