Bridgetown-Greenbushes Busselton

Busselton and Bridgetown-Greenbushes are two Western Australian areas with very different levels of infrastructure and services. Busselton is much more connected, with 70.5% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and 79% within 15 minutes of a park, while only 17.2% and 37.9% of homes in Bridgetown-Greenbushes have similar access. Busselton also has much larger schools and better outcomes for First Nations people, who are far more likely to have completed Year 12 there (43% compared to 26.4% in Bridgetown-Greenbushes).

Both areas sit very close to the national figure for the share of people who live alone. They also share similar unemployment rates and a nearly identical proportion of people who speak little or no English. While residents in Bridgetown-Greenbushes are noticeably older and more likely to own their home outright, the gap in typical age has narrowed since 2011. At the same time, the gap in Year 12 completion has widened as Busselton has seen more people finish school.
