Cane Onslow

Onslow and Cane are two Western Australian areas with very different scales of settlement. Onslow is a populated hub where the typical resident is 35, while Cane is sparsely populated with a typical age of 43. Life in Onslow is more convenient, with a walkability score of 4.5 (somewhat walkable) and 90.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services. In contrast, Cane is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of schools or groceries. This gap extends to income, with Onslow's typical household income being well higher at $2,596 per week compared to $1,999 in Cane.

These two areas share a similar flat landscape and both have no homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. However, the gap between them in terms of amenity access and population size remains stark. While both areas sit in the same region, Onslow's higher population and larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents create a very different social landscape than the nearly empty expanse of Cane.
