Byford Wungong

Byford and Wungong are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different scales and layouts. Byford is a large population centre that is somewhat walkable, where 83.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school and 41.3% of adults provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, Wungong is a sparsely populated, car-dependent area where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. Byford has a far higher share of people with no religion (51.1% compared to 34.9% in Wungong) and more adults working or looking for work (72.7% versus 59.0%).

A widening gap in home ownership separates the two, as 39.6% of Wungong residents own their homes outright compared to just 14.0% in Byford. They do share some similarities, such as having nearly identical proportions of people who speak little or no English (around 1.4%) and a similar share of households that rent. Both areas also have similar drive times to the city, taking about 32 to 33 minutes.
