Beechboro Malaga

Beechboro and Malaga are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in scale and character. Beechboro is a large residential community with 21,348 people, where 22% are children and many residents were born overseas (42.6%). In contrast, Malaga is sparsely populated with only 25 residents, featuring a much older typical age of 43 and no children. There is a stark contrast in wealth; typical weekly personal income in Malaga is $1,350, which is far higher than the $778 seen in Beechboro.

The gap in typical personal income has widened since 2011, though the age difference between the two areas has narrowed. They share some basic similarities, such as having the same number of schools within 3 km and very similar weekly household incomes. While Beechboro is more walkable for daily needs, with 56.9% of homes near groceries, Malaga has a much higher density of public transport stops.
