Booragoon Willagee

Booragoon and Willagee are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Booragoon is a wealthier area where 42.8% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 33.8% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. It is also more culturally diverse, with 37.8% of people born overseas. In contrast, Willagee has a higher proportion of renters (35%) and one-parent families (20.8%), and it is far more likely for residents to have no religion, at 50.8%.

Everyday life in both places is similar in that everyone lives within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. They also share the same unemployment rate of 5.0% and have grown by 11.2% since the last census. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in higher education and high weekly incomes has grown since 2011, while the gap in home ownership remains large, with 41.3% of Booragoon homes owned outright compared to just 19.3% in Willagee.
