Ambergate Busselton

Busselton and Ambergate are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Busselton is a very walkable area with a much older population; the typical resident is 56, and 36.2% are seniors. In contrast, Ambergate is car-dependent and far younger, with a typical age of 42 and 22.7% of people being children under 15. There is also a significant income gap, as the typical household in Ambergate earns $2,318 a week, which is far higher than the $949 typical income in Busselton.

Both areas are similar in their share of volunteers and the proportion of people with a bachelor degree, which sits around the national figure for both. While Busselton has many more renters and people living alone, Ambergate has more large families in four-bedroom homes. These differences are sharp, with Busselton's high number of public transport options and amenities contrasting with Ambergate's rural layout.
