Drome McKail

McKail and Drome are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, but they differ greatly in scale and layout. McKail is a larger population centre where 45.1% of residents finished Year 12, while the same is true for only 20.5% of people in Drome. McKail is also much more diverse, with a far higher share of people born overseas (18.0%) and those who use a language other than English at home (9.4%). In contrast, Drome is a sparsely populated area where typical monthly home-loan payments are far higher at $3,250, compared to $1,622 in McKail.

Daily life in both places is similar in terms of typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $750 to $780. However, their access to services differs; McKail is mostly car-dependent but has some walkable parks and transport, while Drome is completely car-dependent. This gap in accessibility is a consistent feature, as McKail has far more public transport stops and schools nearby. Since 2011, the two areas have diverged further, with a much higher share of people now moving into Drome than into McKail.
