Collie-Preston (South West) Dawesville (South West)

Collie-Preston (South West) and Dawesville (South West) are two different types of Western Australian landscapes, separated by about 102 km. Dawesville (South West) is a more compact, somewhat walkable area where 91.8% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport and 27.5% of residents were born overseas. In contrast, Collie-Preston (South West) is mostly car-dependent and more rural, with 16.2% of people born overseas and a higher share of children under 15 (19.6% compared to 16.3% in Dawesville (South West)).

Both areas are remarkably similar in their household makeup and financial standing, with almost identical numbers of people per home and similar shares of high-income earners. They also share a common trend of having far fewer people who completed Year 12 than the national figure. While they share these basic similarities, Dawesville (South West) has become more distinct over time, with a noticeably older typical resident (48 compared to 42 in Collie-Preston (South West)) and a much higher proportion of seniors.
