Augusta Molloy Island

Augusta and Molloy Island are neighbouring Western Australian areas with very different layouts. Augusta is more developed and accessible, with a somewhat walkable environment where over half of homes are within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services. In contrast, Molloy Island is car-dependent and has no public transport or walkable amenities. The two areas also differ in their workforces; full-time employment is far higher in Molloy Island (66.7%) than in Augusta (39.7%), and 33.1% of Molloy Island residents were born overseas compared to 20.6% in Augusta.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who do not identify with a religion. They are also very similar in terms of typical weekly incomes, with Augusta at $869 and Molloy Island at $866. While they share these similarities, they have diverged in other ways; for example, the gap in full-time employment and the share of people born overseas has grown between the two areas since 2011.
