Stratham Usher

Usher and Stratham are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Stratham is a more affluent community, where the typical household income is $2,366 a week—far higher than the $1,385 seen in Usher. This higher income is consistent with the fact that more people in Stratham have a university degree (20.6% compared to 7.8% in Usher) and have completed Year 12. In contrast, Usher has a much higher share of renters at 31.2% and more one-parent families (24.8%), while Stratham is dominated by homeowners who own their properties outright (49.4%).

These two places have tracked similarly in several ways since 2011, such as having almost identical shares of children under 15 and people born overseas. They also share a similar level of car dependence, though Usher is better connected with more public transport stops and health services within a 15-minute walk. While both areas are far from the city, Usher remains more walkable, with 97.1% of homes within a short walk of public transport compared to only 8.2% in Stratham.
