Chittering Dandaragan

Dandaragan and Chittering are two Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Dandaragan is much older, with 27.5% of residents aged 65 and over compared to 17.3% in Chittering. It is also more walkable; 75.7% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, whereas only 10.8% are in Chittering. In contrast, Chittering has a wealthier profile, with 26.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, far higher than the 13.6% in Dandaragan.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally grown. The difference in the share of people aged 65 and over has widened, and the gap in high-income households has increased. Despite these diverging trends, they share several similarities, such as nearly identical shares of adults with a bachelor degree (around 10.8%) and typical weekly rents that are almost the same at about $310 to $320.
