The Lakes Wundowie

Wundowie and The Lakes are nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Wundowie is a larger community where families are common, with 18.1% of people being children and a typical resident aged 46. In contrast, The Lakes is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 56 and no children under 15. There is also a significant difference in wealth; the typical weekly household income in The Lakes is $3,625, which is far higher than the $1,520 seen in Wundowie.

While these areas differ in most respects, they share a similar landscape with nearly identical terrain slopes and typical monthly home-loan payments of $1,400. However, the gap in education and income appears to be a defining divide, as adults in The Lakes are far more likely to hold a bachelor degree or higher (20.0% compared to 6.8% in Wundowie). This is consistent with the fact that a much higher share of people in The Lakes are working or looking for work.
