Esperance Windabout

Esperance and Windabout are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different characters. Esperance is a larger, very walkable hub where 45.4% of households rent and the typical weekly income is $1,087. In contrast, Windabout is a smaller, car-dependent area where homes are almost always separate houses and the typical weekly income is far higher at $2,305. The two areas differ sharply on housing; 88.9% of Windabout homes have three or more bedrooms and 50% are owned outright, while Esperance has a much higher share of renters and people living alone (48.9%).

Both areas share a similar proportion of residents with a bachelor degree or higher, around 11.8%. They also have a similar percentage of First Nations people and very few residents who speak little or no English. While Esperance is more connected with a high number of public transport stops and amenities within walking distance, the overall education levels and typical school advantage scores remain almost identical across the two neighbourhoods.
