Hocking Wanneroo

Wanneroo and Hocking are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different demographic profiles. Wanneroo is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 41 and 21.2% of the population aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 34 and 9.5% seniors in Hocking. There is also a significant gap in income and education; the typical weekly household income in Hocking is $2,234, which is well higher than the $1,561 seen in Wanneroo, and Hocking has a far higher share of people who completed Year 12 (62.8% versus 51.0%).

While both areas share a similar proportion of people born overseas (around 35%) and a nearly identical share of people with no religion (about 43%), the gap in walkability is stark. Hocking has far more homes within 15 minutes of groceries (90.4%) and schools (99.1%), while Wanneroo has far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people. This contrast in accessibility exists alongside a growing divide in home ownership, as the share of homes owned outright is far higher in Wanneroo than in Hocking.
