Pinjarra Hills Westlake

Westlake and Pinjarra Hills are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Westlake is a wealthier, family-oriented area where the typical weekly household income is $2,691 and 19.3% of residents are children. It is also more diverse, with 35.8% of people born overseas and 25.4% using another language at home. In contrast, Pinjarra Hills is a retirement-heavy area where seniors make up 54.5% of the population. It has a much older typical age of 70 and a higher share of people who need help with daily activities (19.7%).

These differences in age and household type are widening, seen clearly in the gap between the two areas' typical resident ages. Despite this, they share some basic features, such as a similar drive time to the city of around 18 minutes and almost identical average school advantage scores. Both areas also have the same number of public transport stops, though Pinjarra Hills has a far higher number of weekly departures per 1,000 people.
