Denmark Scotsdale

Denmark and Scotsdale are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different characters. Denmark is a more urban hub where 38.4% of people live alone, and 28.6% of households rent. It is a somewhat walkable area where nearly 60% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, and parks. In contrast, Scotsdale is a car-dependent area where homes are more likely to be owned outright (54.2%) and a higher share of households earn $3,000 or more a week (23.8%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining closely aligned in several ways. They share nearly identical typical weekly rents of $300, and both have about 30% of their population aged 65 or over. They are also alike in their diversity, with around 23% of residents born overseas. While Denmark has more people working or looking for work, both areas sit well below the national figure for this measure.
