Lake Austin vs Reedy

Reedy and Lake Austin are both sparsely populated, largely non-residential areas in Western Australia. Reedy is home to just four people, while Lake Austin has no residents. Reedy has more public transport options, with two stops and one route, compared to none in Lake Austin. This means about 11.8% of homes in Reedy are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, which is far higher than in Lake Austin.

Everyday life in both places is very similar, as both are car-dependent and lack basic amenities within walking distance. Neither area has any homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, health services, or groceries. While Lake Austin has one school within 3 km, which is far larger than the zero schools in Reedy, both areas remain almost entirely devoid of residential infrastructure.
