Abba River Ludlow

Ludlow and Abba River are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Ludlow has a notably older population, with 19.7% aged 65 and over compared to just 3.6% in Abba River. Housing differs significantly between the two; while 100% of homes in Abba River have three or more bedrooms, Ludlow has a higher share of people living alone at 21.7%, whereas no one in Abba River lives alone.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as all homes are separate houses and every household owns a motor vehicle. Both areas have roughly the same typical weekly income and a similar share of people born overseas. While Abba River has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (78.5% versus 66.7% in Ludlow), and more residents with university degrees, the two areas have remained effectively equal in their lack of public transport options.
