Armadale Wungong

Armadale (WA) and Wungong are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Armadale (WA) is a larger, very walkable hub where 40.5% of homes are rented and the typical weekly household income is $1,020. In contrast, Wungong is a sparsely populated area of detached houses where homes are more likely to be owned outright (39.6%) and the typical weekly income is far higher at $1,875. These differences extend to health and family life, with Armadale (WA) seeing far more one-parent families (29.4%) and a much higher share of people with long-term health conditions (37.2%) compared to Wungong's 23.5%.

Both areas are very similar in the percentage of people who speak little or no English. This shared characteristic sits alongside a stark contrast in how people get around. Armadale (WA) is very walkable with most residents living within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries, while Wungong is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a grocery store.
