Denbarker Scotsdale

Scotsdale and Denbarker are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Scotsdale is much older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 30.4% of people aged 65 and over. It is also more affluent, with 23.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a much higher share of adults with bachelor degrees (28.8%). In contrast, Denbarker is younger and has a stronger connection to the land, with 47.4% of its workforce in agriculture, forestry and fishing. Denbarker also has a higher proportion of people who speak a language other than English at home (14.0%) and more people caring for children unpaid (35.6%).

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked in different directions, though they still share a few basic traits. Both are almost entirely made up of separate houses, and neither has any public transport stops or commuters using trains or buses. They also have very similar rates of people with no religion (around 56%) and nearly identical unemployment rates. While Scotsdale has a higher proportion of people born overseas, both areas remain well below the national figure for this measure.
