Boyup Brook Denmark

Denmark and Boyup Brook are two Western Australian areas with very different social and economic profiles. Denmark is a wetter area where 23.5% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher, far higher than the 12.3% in Boyup Brook. People are also more likely to have no religion in Denmark (59.3%) and to have moved into the area in the last five years (38.3%). In contrast, Boyup Brook has a much higher share of full-time employment at 60.1%, compared to 46.1% in Denmark, and a far higher proportion of workers in agriculture, forestry, and fishing.

Daily life is similar in both places, with almost identical rates of people who have served in the Defence Force (3.5%) and those needing help with daily activities (4.7%). The typical weekly family income is also very close in both areas. Over time, some gaps have grown, such as the difference in the number of people aged 65 and over, which is now well higher in Denmark. The gap in typical weekly rent has narrowed, though it remains well higher in Denmark at $300 compared to $220 in Boyup Brook.
