Lesley vs Pickering Brook

Pickering Brook and Lesley are two nearby areas in Western Australia, though they differ greatly in how many people live there. Pickering Brook has 579 residents, while Lesley is largely non-residential with no population. This difference is reflected in their infrastructure; Pickering Brook has three schools within 3 km and a drive time to the city of 31 minutes, whereas Lesley has no schools and a much longer drive time of 95 minutes.

Both areas are equally isolated from public transport, with neither having any transport stops or routes. This lack of connectivity is a shared trait, and both sit near the national figure for the number of people reachable by transit within 45 minutes, which is zero. While Pickering Brook has more street intersections per square kilometre, both places remain very sparsely populated.
