Dwellingup Yarloop

Yarloop and Dwellingup are both small Western Australian towns with populations around 340 people. They differ most in their layout and housing. Dwellingup is somewhat walkable, with 96.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, park or groceries, while Yarloop is car-dependent and has no homes within walking distance of shops. Residents in Dwellingup are more likely to own their homes outright (45.1% compared to 33.1% in Yarloop), whereas renting is far more common in Yarloop (33.8%).

Both areas are very similar in other ways, such as having a similar typical weekly rent of around $270 and a nearly identical share of three-plus bedroom homes. These commonalities exist despite a divide in demographics and health; Yarloop has a younger population with more children and a higher rate of mental health conditions, while Dwellingup has more people aged 65 and over. Since 2011, the gap in home ownership has remained a prominent feature between these two nearby towns.
