Carnamah Chapman Valley

Chapman Valley and Carnamah are both rural Western Australian areas, but they differ sharply in wealth and layout. Chapman Valley is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,046 compared to $1,234 in Carnamah. This gap has widened since 2011, as has the difference in typical monthly home-loan payments, which are far higher in Chapman Valley at $2,000. Carnamah is more centrally planned; it has a walkability score of 3.4 (mostly car-dependent) and 61.5% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a local amenity. In contrast, Chapman Valley is car-dependent, with a score of 0.3 and no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, such as a high preference for detached houses and roughly the same share of people born overseas. Both areas have two schools and similar numbers of people who have served in the Defence Force. While they share these traits, the gap in household wealth has grown over time, and the difference in family structure has increased, with children under 15 now well higher in Chapman Valley than in Carnamah.
