Borden North Stirlings

Borden and North Stirlings are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ sharply in demographics and wealth; North Stirlings is much younger, with a typical resident aged 29 compared to 49 in Borden. This younger age helps explain why 23.1% of North Stirlings residents are children, while only 8.1% are children in Borden. Money is also a major divide, as typical weekly household incomes are far higher in North Stirlings at $2,250, compared to $725 in Borden. Borden is also more convenient for pedestrians, with a somewhat walkable score and most homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries, whereas North Stirlings is car-dependent.

Both areas are very similar in that they have no Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. They also share a similar percentage of people aged 65 and over, and roughly the same proportion of residents have moved recently. While they share these traits, the gap in typical incomes remains very wide, and Borden continues to have a far higher share of people who report having no religion.
