Denmark vs Walpole

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 57 km apart · Denmark profile · Walpole profile

Denmark Walpole

Denmark and Walpole (L) are both Western Australian towns with older-than-average populations, though they differ in scale and demographics. Walpole (L) is far older, with a typical resident aged 62 and 40.2% of people aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 49 and 29.5% of seniors in Denmark. Denmark has a better-qualified workforce, with 53.1% completing Year 12 and 21.9% holding a bachelor degree or higher, while Walpole (L) reaches 39.3% and 13.6% respectively. Denmark is also more likely to have children under 15 (16.6% versus 9.5%) and people caring for children unpaid (23.3% versus 11.7%).

Both areas are very similar in their levels of full-time employment and the small number of recent overseas arrivals they receive. While Walpole (L) has a higher share of homes within walking distance of health services and groceries, Denmark is more likely to be within a short walk of a park. Over time, the gaps between them have shifted; since 2011, the typical age and household income have both risen more significantly in Walpole (L), which now has a far older population and lower typical income than Denmark.
