Denmark William Bay

Denmark and William Bay are nearby Western Australian areas with very different characters. Denmark is a larger hub that is somewhat walkable, where 59.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 57.2% are near a school. In contrast, William Bay is car-dependent and far more sparsely populated. The two areas also differ in their residents; Denmark has far more people living alone (38.4% compared to 18.9% in William Bay), a higher share of renters (28.6% versus 11.3%), and far more people who have moved in the last five years (44.3% versus 16.2%).

These differences in living patterns have widened over time, though the two areas remain similar in other ways. They share almost identical typical weekly personal incomes, around $600, and have similar proportions of people born overseas. While William Bay has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (28.6% compared to 20.6% in Denmark), both areas have a population that is older than the national figure.
