Bambun Chittering

Chittering and Bambun are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Chittering has a larger population and a higher share of high-earning households, with 27.1% earning $3,000 or more a week compared to none in Bambun. Residents in Bambun are far older, with a typical age of 53 compared to 44 in Chittering, and they are more likely to own their homes outright (58.3% versus 29.3%). Bambun also has a much higher share of people born overseas at 40.0%, and a larger proportion of residents have completed Year 12.

These two areas have tracked together since 2011 in their shared lack of local infrastructure. Both areas have no public transport stops and no amenities within a 15-minute walk. They are also very similar in their housing styles, as nearly every home in both places is a separate detached house. This common car-dependence is seen in both areas, though it is more pronounced in Chittering, where fewer people work from home compared to Bambun.
