Lake Clifton Waroona

Waroona and Lake Clifton are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different levels of accessibility. Waroona is more developed for pedestrians, with a walkability score of 3.5 (mostly car-dependent) and 66% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. In contrast, Lake Clifton is car-dependent, with no homes within walking distance of groceries or schools. There are also clear economic gaps: typical weekly household income is $1,724 in Lake Clifton, which is well higher than the $1,264 seen in Waroona.

These two areas have tracked closely on several fronts since 2011, maintaining very similar proportions of First Nations residents and nearly identical typical personal incomes. However, some gaps are striking. First Nations household income is far higher in Lake Clifton at $3,125, compared to $1,458 in Waroona. Meanwhile, Waroona has a much older population, with 25.1% of residents aged 65 and over, well above Lake Clifton's 15.2%.
