Contine Williams

Williams and Contine are two rural Western Australian areas with very different scales. Williams is a larger community of 996 people with more infrastructure, including one school and a few public transport routes. In contrast, Contine is sparsely populated with only 16 residents and lacks public transport and schools. A major difference is in wealth and age; the typical resident in Contine is far older at 51 compared to 41 in Williams, and weekly family incomes are well higher in Contine at $3,249 against $2,256 in Williams.

Both areas have tracked similarly over time, remaining car-dependent with almost identical terrain slopes. While Williams is more walkable, with 33.5% of homes near groceries and 31.1% near a school, both areas sit far below the national figure for typical weekly rents. Contine's typical personal income is far above the national figure, a trend also seen in Williams, though to a lesser extent.
