Ashby Wanneroo

Wanneroo and Ashby (WA) are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with distinct layouts and services. Wanneroo is a larger hub where 88.1% of homes have three or more bedrooms, and residents have much better access to health services and schools. In contrast, Ashby (WA) is more residential, with a higher share of separate houses and a much larger proportion of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. There are also notable differences in First Nations outcomes, with typical personal income far higher in Ashby (WA), though the unemployment rate is also far higher there.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, and they now share several key characteristics. They have almost identical typical weekly family incomes of $1,973 and very similar proportions of people aged 65 and over. Both areas also have a high share of residents born overseas, which is well above the national figure.
