Collie Dardanup

Dardanup and Collie are nearby Western Australian areas with very different levels of advantage. Dardanup is far more prosperous, with a typical weekly family income of $2,089 compared to $1,618 in Collie. This gap is reflected in education and jobs; 43% of Dardanup residents completed Year 12, which is far higher than the 30.1% in Collie. Dardanup also has much better access to public transport, with 73.6% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, while only 15.9% of homes in Collie have the same access.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as the high rate of detached houses and similar proportions of renters. However, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in the share of adults working or looking for work has grown, and the gap in Year 12 completion has also increased. Collie is older than Dardanup, and its share of people aged 65 and over is well higher than the national figure.
