Toodyay Wooroloo

Toodyay (L) and Wooroloo (L) are nearby Western Australian areas with very different social and built environments. Toodyay (L) is a much older community, where the typical resident is 55 and 33.9% are seniors, compared to a typical age of 42 and 16.9% seniors in Wooroloo (L). It is also more walkable (somewhat walkable), with 71.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, whereas Wooroloo (L) is car-dependent and has no homes within that distance of a shop. In contrast, Wooroloo (L) has higher incomes, with a typical weekly household income of $1,625 compared to $888 in Toodyay (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged across many key measures. The age gap has widened, and the lead has flipped in terms of income and the proportion of adults working or looking for work. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain very similar in their mix of overseas births and the share of people using other languages at home. Both also sit near the national figure for people born overseas, at around 20%.
