Harvey Waroona

Harvey and Waroona are two nearby Western Australian areas with distinct profiles. Harvey is more walkable and has better access to services, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (25.1% compared to 0% in Waroona) and groceries. It also has a much larger educational footprint, with far more schools (8 compared to 2) and a far higher number of schools per 1,000 children. In contrast, Waroona has a noticeably older population, with the typical resident being 48 and 24.4% of people aged 65 and over, which is well higher than Harvey's 20.7%.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share almost identical shares of children under 15 and people providing unpaid care. They also have a similar proportion of First Nations residents and nearly the same number of people per home. However, some gaps have grown since 2011, such as the difference in typical age and the share of people who speak another language at home, which is now well higher in Harvey.
