Boddington Dwarda

Boddington and Dwarda are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different scales and profiles. Boddington is a larger town where residents are more likely to have been born overseas (15.5%) and are far more likely to report no religion (51.7%). It also offers much better local access, with a mostly car-dependent walkability score of 3.9 and many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Dwarda is sparsely populated and very car-dependent. Residents there are far older, with a typical age of 52, and there is a much higher share of people who have completed Year 12 (70.0%) and served in the Defence Force (17.9%).

Both areas share a similar proportion of children under 15, at around 23%. This commonality exists alongside a growing divide in some areas; for example, the gap in the share of people who have completed Year 12 has widened. While Boddington has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (10.2%), Dwarda has a much higher rate of volunteering (40.0%) and a higher typical weekly personal income of $1,062 compared to $838 in Boddington.
