Boyup Brook Collie

Collie and Boyup Brook are two Western Australian areas with very different social and economic profiles. Boyup Brook has a much higher share of people who finished Year 12 (44.9% compared to 30.1% in Collie) and a far higher proportion of people working from home (28% compared to 3.1%). First Nations residents in Boyup Brook are also far older, with a typical age of 40 compared to just 21 in Collie, and they earn a much higher typical personal income. In contrast, Collie is more walkable, with 69.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, compared to only 27% in Boyup Brook.

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, as they have almost identical typical weekly household incomes, the same number of people per home, and similar rates of people serving in the Defence Force. However, some gaps are changing over time. The difference in the share of people finishing Year 12 has widened since 2011, while the gap in the share of volunteers has narrowed. The typical age of residents in both areas is older than the national figure, though the gap between the two has narrowed slightly over the last decade.
