Argyle Paynedale

Argyle and Paynedale are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Paynedale is sparsely populated and has a much younger feel, with 35.0% of people being children under 15. It is also wealthier, with 62.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Argyle has a larger population and is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 47. Argyle also has a far higher share of people born overseas at 19.8%, compared to just 5.0% in Paynedale.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, with no public transport stops and no amenities within a 15-minute walk. They also share similar levels of people living alone and similar home sizes. While they have much in common, the gap in household wealth is widening, as Paynedale's share of high-income earners has grown far above those in Argyle.
