Eaton Leschenault

Eaton (WA) and Leschenault are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Eaton (WA) is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where 65.4% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 97.2% are near public transport. In contrast, Leschenault is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries or health services. These physical differences are matched by social ones: Leschenault has a much older typical resident (47 compared to 41) and a far higher share of high earners, with 28.3% of households making $3,000 or more a week compared to 14.5% in Eaton (WA).

Both areas are very similar in their employment and family makeup, with nearly identical shares of full-time workers and children under 15. They also share a similar level of diversity, with about 16% to 17% of people born overseas. While Eaton (WA) has far more renters (21.6% versus 6.4%) and a higher number of one-parent families, both areas sit well below the national figure for people who speak little or no English.
