Sinclair Windabout

Sinclair and Windabout are neighbouring areas in Western Australia that offer very different lifestyles. Sinclair is a younger place where the typical resident is 38 and more people rent their homes (33.2%). It is also much more connected, with 76.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 79.2% near public transport. In contrast, Windabout is far older, with a typical age of 49, and is more car-dependent. Most residents there own their homes outright (50.0%) and a much higher share work from home (21.5%).

These two areas have diverged in their housing and transport profiles over time, with the gap in typical monthly mortgage payments widening to $1,092. Despite these shifts, they share some common ground, such as similar unemployment rates and a similar share of high-income households earning over $3,000 a week. Both areas also have very few residents who speak little or no English.
