Herne Hill Wooroloo

Wooroloo and Herne Hill are both small residential areas in Western Australia, but they offer very different lifestyles. Herne Hill is more connected, with a somewhat walkable score of 4.3 and 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or school. In contrast, Wooroloo is car-dependent, with a walkability score of 1.8 and a steeper terrain. There are also notable differences in residents: Wooroloo has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (10.2% compared to 3.0%) and a higher proportion of people born overseas (20.2% versus 15.9%).

These two areas have seen their differences shift since 2011. While the gap in the number of children under 15 has widened, the difference in the share of people providing unpaid care has narrowed slightly. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain alike in several ways. They both consist entirely of separate houses and have nearly identical typical weekly incomes, sitting at $697 in Wooroloo and $683 in Herne Hill.
