Bridgetown-Greenbushes Capel

Capel and Bridgetown-Greenbushes are two different types of regional areas in Western Australia. Capel is a younger, wealthier hub where the typical weekly income is $1,949, compared to $1,218 in Bridgetown-Greenbushes. This difference is reflected in the housing and community layout, with Capel having far more homes with three or more bedrooms and much higher access to parks and groceries within a 15-minute walk. Bridgetown-Greenbushes is an older area, where the typical resident is 51 and 27.6% of the population are seniors. This contributes to a much higher share of homes being owned outright (44.6%) compared to Capel (28.2%).

Since 2011, the gap between the two has shifted in several ways. The difference in typical age and the share of seniors have both widened, while the gap in typical incomes and the number of large homes has narrowed. Despite these changing trends, the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share the same unemployment rate of 3.8% and have almost identical proportions of people born overseas and those living in separate detached houses.
