Beaufort River Kenmare

Beaufort River and Kenmare (WA) are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ sharply in their demographics and wealth; residents in Kenmare (WA) are far younger, with a typical age of 34 compared to 47 in Beaufort River. Kenmare (WA) also has a much more qualified and higher earning population, where 33.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and the typical weekly personal income is $1,524, while in Beaufort River, only 6.3% have a degree and the typical weekly income is $769.

Everyday life in both places is very similar in that they are both car-dependent and lack basic amenities within walking distance. They also share the same lack of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and an identical absence of people who speak little or no English. While Beaufort River has more public transport stops and departures, both areas remain far below the national figure for walkability.
