Australind Leschenault

Australind and Leschenault are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different layouts. Australind is a larger, more active hub where the typical resident is 36 and the area is somewhat walkable. In contrast, residents in Leschenault are far older, with a typical age of 47, and the area is car-dependent. This difference is clear in the local amenities; for example, 79% of Australind homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, while no homes in Leschenault have that access. Housing also differs, as renting is far more common in Australind at 20.9%, while 43.4% of Leschenault homes are owned outright.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked differently, with Australind seeing a much higher share of people moving in over the last five years. Despite this, they share several core traits, such as similar typical weekly incomes and nearly identical proportions of people who served in the Defence Force. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for people who identify as having no religion.
