Denmark Hay

Denmark and Hay (WA) are neighbours in Western Australia with very different living patterns. Denmark is a more concentrated hub where 93.2% of homes are separate houses and many people live alone (38.4%). It is a somewhat walkable area, with about 60% of homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services. In contrast, Hay (WA) is car-dependent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,660, which is far higher than Denmark's $975. First Nations households in Hay (WA) also earn far more, with a typical income of $2,749 compared to $687 in Denmark.

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked similarly in several key ways. They share a similar proportion of people born overseas (around 23%) and have nearly identical shares of children under 15. Both areas also have higher than the national figure for residents aged 65 and over. While Denmark has more renters and a higher share of one-parent families, both places maintain the same typical weekly rent of $300.
