Redbank Wedgefield

Wedgefield and Redbank (WA) are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Western Australia. Wedgefield is a more expensive and diverse place, where the typical family income is $2,625 per week and 12.6% of people use another language at home. In contrast, typical family income in Redbank (WA) is much lower at $1,625, and no one uses a language other than English at home. Wedgefield also has more infrastructure, with far more public transport stops and higher weekly rents, which typicaly reach $762 compared to $200 in Redbank (WA).

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011, as both have very few people with university degrees and no one who speaks little or no English. They are also alike in their lack of local amenities, as no homes in either area are within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. While Wedgefield has a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 6.3%, Redbank (WA) has a much older First Nations population with a typical age of 57.
