Ambergate Bovell

Ambergate and Bovell are neighbouring rural areas in Western Australia. Bovell is more established, with 53.3% of homes owned outright and a typical weekly rent of $480, which is far higher than Ambergate's $275. Bovell also has more amenities within a 15-minute walk, including 49.1% of homes near a park. In contrast, First Nations residents in Ambergate fare better financially, with a typical household income of $2,125 compared to $1,125 in Bovell, and they are far older, with a typical age of 30 compared to 20 in Bovell.

These two neighbours share many daily realities, including very similar typical family incomes of around $2,350 a week and almost identical rates of detached housing. Life in both places is car-dependent, with almost no one using public transport to get to work. While Bovell has a larger share of university graduates and a higher number of volunteers, both areas remain well above the national figure for people who describe themselves as having no religion.
