Arrowsmith vs Springfield

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 36 km apart · Arrowsmith profile · Springfield profile

Arrowsmith Springfield

Springfield (WA) and Arrowsmith are nearby rural areas with very different scales. Springfield (WA) has a population of 276 and is more developed, with one school and a typical weekly personal income of $739. In contrast, Arrowsmith is sparsely populated with just 17 people, though it has a much higher typical weekly family income of $2,249. Arrowsmith also has more public transport options, with four stops and two routes, while Springfield (WA) has none.

Both areas are equally car-dependent and share the same typical resident age of 50 years. Neither place has homes within a short walk of groceries, schools, or public transport. This shared lack of local services is a consistent feature across both areas, as they both sit far below the national figure for walkability.
