Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 4.1 km apart · Abba River profile · Ruabon profile

Abba River Ruabon

Abba River and Ruabon are both sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Western Australia. Abba River is much younger, with 26.5% of people under 15, and every single home there has three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Ruabon is older, with 15.9% of people aged 65 and over, and has a higher share of high-earners, with 40% of households making $3,000 or more a week. Rent is also far higher in Ruabon, where the typical weekly payment is $400 compared to $210 in Abba River.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people with long-term health conditions. They are also very similar in other ways: both are entirely made up of separate houses, and no one in either area uses public transport to get to work. This lack of transport is consistent with the fact that neither area has any public transport stops or routes.
