Beelerup Lowden

Lowden and Beelerup are neighbouring rural areas in Western Australia. Lowden has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 57 compared to 49 in Beelerup. There are also notable differences in people's backgrounds and beliefs; 17% of Lowden residents were born overseas compared to just 4% in Beelerup, and people in Lowden are far more likely to have no religion (54.5% versus 35.7%). Lowden also has a higher share of people with long-term health conditions (34.5% versus 21.4%) and a higher proportion of people who finished Year 12 (50% versus 39%).

Both areas are effectively identical when it comes to their lack of public transport, with no one commuting by bus or train. They also share similar patterns in volunteering and a total absence of residents who speak no English. While they are alike in these ways, the two areas differ in their family life; Beelerup has far more children under 15 (19% versus 10.3%) and more homes with four bedrooms.
