Collie Cookernup

Collie and Cookernup (L) are nearby Western Australian areas with very different scales and layouts. Collie is a larger hub where 33.2% of people live alone and 21.8% rent their homes. It is also much more walkable, with 81.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 49.4% near health services. In contrast, Cookernup (L) is a smaller, more sparsely populated area where typical weekly incomes are well higher at $1,773, compared to $1,148 in Collie.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as a nearly identical share of people in de facto relationships and the same small percentage of residents who use another language at home. However, some gaps have grown since 2011. The difference in the typical household income has widened significantly, and Collie has seen a rise in the share of older residents compared to Cookernup (L). While both are mostly car-dependent, Collie's walkability score is slightly higher.
