Argyle Boyanup

Boyanup and Argyle (WA) are neighbouring Western Australian areas with very different layouts. Boyanup is more developed, with a walkability score of 3.1 (mostly car-dependent) and more homes within walking distance of schools, parks and groceries. In contrast, Argyle (WA) is car-dependent, with no public transport stops or walkable amenities. Argyle (WA) also has a higher typical weekly household income of $2,147 compared to $1,609 in Boyanup, and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (19.6% versus 12.4%).

These two areas have tracked similarly in some ways, such as their near-identical shares of detached houses and people who have moved recently. However, the gap in First Nations personal income has become very wide, with the typical person in Argyle (WA) earning $1,625, which is far higher than the $575 typical income in Boyanup. Both areas see a higher share of volunteers than the national figure, though this is more pronounced in Argyle (WA) at 27.7%.
