Gingin Ledge Point

Gingin (L) and Ledge Point (L) are two small Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Gingin (L) is a family-oriented hub where 23.4% of people are children and 31.2% of adults provide unpaid care for them. In contrast, Ledge Point (L) is much older; the typical resident is 60, and 36.4% of the population are seniors. These differences extend to housing and income, with Ledge Point (L) seeing far more homes owned outright (50.5%) and Gingin (L) having a higher typical weekly household income of $1,603 compared to $1,149 in Ledge Point (L).

Both areas share a similar experience in some daily realities, such as having almost identical typical weekly rents of around $300. While they are similar in these ways, many of the gaps between them have flipped since 2011. For example, Gingin (L) now has a far higher share of children and a younger typical age than Ledge Point (L), which was the opposite a decade ago. The two areas also differ in walkability, with most Ledge Point (L) homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while Gingin (L) has better access to schools and public transport.
