Bayonet Head Napier

Napier and Bayonet Head are nearby Western Australian areas with very different characters. Napier is a sparsely populated area where people are noticeably older, with a typical age of 48. It has a higher share of residents working or looking for work (68.9%) and typical weekly family incomes that are well higher than in Bayonet Head ($2,150 compared to $1,613). In contrast, Bayonet Head is more developed, with far more homes that have three or more bedrooms (92.1%) and typical weekly rents that are far higher at $350, compared to just $175 in Napier.

Both areas have followed a similar trajectory since 2011, though they remain distinct in their layout. While Bayonet Head is mostly car-dependent, it is far more walkable than Napier, which is completely car-dependent and has no public transport stops. They share several traits, such as having the same typical number of people per home (2.5) and very similar shares of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. This common ground exists alongside a stark contrast in how people work; 20.8% of Napier residents work from home, while only 4.5% do so in Bayonet Head.
