Boyup Brook Donnybrook-Balingup

Donnybrook-Balingup and Boyup Brook are two Western Australian regional areas with distinct economic and social profiles. Donnybrook-Balingup is more developed in terms of infrastructure, with far more public transport departures and 56% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. It also has a larger proportion of people born overseas (18.4%). In contrast, Boyup Brook is more heavily reliant on agriculture, which employs 44.1% of its workforce. It also has a much higher rate of working from home at 28% and a significantly older First Nations population, with a typical age of 40 compared to 24 in Donnybrook-Balingup.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who served in the Defence Force, at 3.5% each. They also share very similar typical weekly household incomes and almost identical numbers of people per home. While some gaps are narrowing, such as the difference in volunteers and weekly rent, others are widening. Since 2011, the gap in the number of children under 15 and the proportion of people born overseas has increased, making the two areas more distinct.
