Drummond Cove vs Oakajee

Drummond Cove and Oakajee are neighbouring areas in Western Australia that differ sharply in population and wealth. Drummond Cove is a younger community where the typical resident is 33, with typical weekly household incomes far higher at $2,134. In contrast, Oakajee is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with a much older typical age of 66 and a typical weekly household income far lower at $450. Homes in Drummond Cove are also more crowded, with 2.8 people per home compared to just 1.0 in Oakajee.

Everyday life in both places shares a similar lack of local services, as neither area has homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. While Drummond Cove has more infrastructure, such as 21 public transport stops and a mostly car-dependent walkability score, Oakajee remains completely car-dependent. These gaps in age and income have remained significant between the two neighbours.
