Denham Wooramel

Denham and Wooramel are two distinct Western Australian areas. Denham is a more established town with 849 people, where 13.3% are children and the walkability score is somewhat walkable. In contrast, Wooramel is sparsely populated with only 33 residents and is car-dependent. Wooramel has a much higher share of people born overseas at 42.4% compared to 22.5% in Denham, and its typical weekly rent is far higher at $827, while Denham's is $220. Wooramel also has a much higher proportion of people working from home at 39.1%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, with many residents in both places having moved within the last five years. They share similar typical family incomes, around $1,400 a week, and both have very few people using public transport. This is consistent with their remote locations, though Denham offers more local access to schools, parks and health services within a 15-minute walk.
