Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 10.0 km apart · Abba River profile · Wonnerup profile

Abba River Wonnerup

Wonnerup and Abba River are neighbouring rural areas in Western Australia with very different age profiles. Wonnerup is much older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 30.6% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Abba River is younger, with a typical age of 39 and far more children under 15 (26.5%). This divide is reflected in the home ownership and workforce data; Wonnerup has far more homes owned outright (50.7%) and a higher share of people earning over $2,000 a week (22.5%), while Abba River has a far higher share of adults working or looking for work (78.5%).

These two areas share some basic traits, such as the fact that every single home in both places is a separate house. They are also similar in that no one uses public transport to commute and every home owns a motor vehicle. However, the gap in the age of their residents remains a defining difference, as Abba River continues to have a far higher proportion of children and unpaid carers for children compared to the older population in Wonnerup.
