Muchea Herne Hill

Muchea and Herne Hill are nearby Western Australian areas with very different layouts and demographics. Muchea is car-dependent and tends to be wealthier, with 24.2% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and a typical weekly income of $1,827. In contrast, Herne Hill is somewhat walkable and attracts more families; it has a far higher share of children under 15 (25.8% compared to 15.6% in Muchea) and many more people providing unpaid child care. While Muchea is’s residents are far older, with a typical age of 47, those in Herne Hill are typically 38.

The gap in household incomes has narrowed since 2011, yet the differences in age and family structure have widened. Both areas are entirely made up of separate houses and have a similar share of people aged 65 and over (17.2%). They are also alike in their levels of volunteering and the number of people per home, which is about 2.8. However, Herne Hill is much better connected, with nearly every home within a 15-minute walk of a school or park, while Muchea has almost no such walkable amenities.
