Pinjarra Serpentine

Pinjarra and Serpentine are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different layouts and lifestyles. Pinjarra is a somewhat walkable hub where 65% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 90.6% are near public transport. It has a notably older population, with the typical resident aged 44 and 24.8% aged 65 or over. In contrast, Serpentine is car-dependent, with no homes within easy walking distance of groceries or health services. It is a wealthier area where the typical weekly household income is $2,314, far higher than the $1,194 seen in Pinjarra.

Both areas share a similar proportion of people born overseas, at around 18%.
