Gingin Toodyay

Gingin and Toodyay are two Western Australian areas with similar population sizes, but they differ in their backgrounds and layouts. Gingin has a much larger share of recent overseas arrivals (19.3% compared to 1.9% in Toodyay) and more people who use a language other than English at home. Toodyay is more qualified, with a far higher rate of First Nations Year 12 completion (42.2% versus 23.9% in Gingin). In terms of local amenities, Gingin is more walkable for nature, with 49.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, compared to 24.8% in Toodyay.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two have generally widened, particularly regarding the typical age of residents and the number of overseas arrivals. Despite these shifting trends, they share many core traits. Both areas have similar typical weekly household incomes, around $1,300, and an almost identical share of residents aged 65 and over. They are also alike in their housing styles, with both having a very high proportion of separate houses.
