Whitby Wungong

Whitby and Wungong are nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Whitby is a young area where the typical resident is 28 and 57.6% of people have moved in over the last five years. It has a much higher typical weekly income of $1,033, compared to $641 in Wungong. Wungong is significantly older, with a typical age of 38 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over at 16.8% compared to just 3.9% in Whitby. Housing also differs, as 39.6% of Wungong homes are owned outright, while only 10.0% are in Whitby.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Whitby seeing a much higher growth in the number of people moving in. Despite these shifts, they share some similarities, such as both being composed entirely of separate houses and having roughly the same share of residents with a bachelor degree. They also both lack homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While Whitby has more people working or looking for work, both areas sit well above the national figure for the number of schools within 3 km.
