Coomoora Elevated Plains

Coomoora and Elevated Plains are neighbouring rural areas with very different profiles. Elevated Plains is a wealthier area with a far older typical resident (55 compared to 44 in Coomoora) and much higher typical weekly household incomes of $2,624 against $1,562 in Coomoora. This higher income is consistent with a more highly qualified workforce; 40% of adults in Elevated Plains hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 24.8% in Coomoora. In contrast, Coomoora has a higher share of people caring for children unpaid, at 30.8% compared to just 8.6% in Elevated Plains.

Both areas are car-dependent and share similar rates of people using another language at home.
