Augusta Capel

Augusta and Capel are two small towns in Western Australia with distinct profiles. Augusta has seen much faster growth since 2021, rising by 19.5% compared to 7.5% in Capel. It has a more highly qualified workforce, with 20.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 13.0% in Capel. There is also a significant difference in their First Nations populations; the typical First Nations resident in Augusta is far older at 31, while in Capel they are typically 20. This is reflected in employment and education, with First Nations unemployment at 0.0% and Year 12 completion at 46.0% in Augusta, while Capel's unemployment is 13.0% and completion is 33.3%.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in some areas while drawing closer in others. The gap in university qualifications has widened, but the difference in the share of homes owned outright has narrowed. Despite this, they share many common traits, such as having almost identical shares of children under 15 and typical weekly incomes around $700 to $740. Both areas also have very low rates of people who speak little or no English.
