Dardanup West Picton East

Dardanup West and Picton East are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different living patterns. Dardanup West is a wealthier area with a typical weekly household income of $2,083 and a high share of large, detached houses (95.8%). In contrast, Picton East is much older, with a typical resident aged 62 and nearly half the population (48.9%) aged 65 or over. This age gap helps explain why Picton East has many more people living alone (57.7%) and a much lower typical household income of $739.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining almost entirely car-dependent with no homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport, groceries or health services. They also share a similar terrain slope and a low proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While Dardanup West has more people working or looking for work (69.4% compared to 37.1% in Picton East), both areas sit well below the national figure for people who speak little or no English.
