Bobs Creek West Haven

West Haven and Bobs Creek are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. West Haven is a retirement-heavy community where the typical resident is 67 and 54.3% of people are aged 65 or over. In contrast, Bobs Creek is much younger, with a typical age of 46 and a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 19.3%. Bobs Creek also has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,531, compared to $940 in West Haven. While West Haven has more people born overseas (15.3%), Bobs Creek has a much higher share of one-parent families at 32.6%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, with about 39% of their residents moving into the area in the last five years. They are also alike in that no one in either place speaks a language other than English, and both are largely car-dependent with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. This differs from the street-level experience, where West Haven has far more public transport stops and a higher number of separate houses in Bobs Creek.
