Bilingurr Cable Beach

Cable Beach and Bilingurr are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with distinct profiles. Cable Beach is larger and more connected, with 60 intersections per square kilometre and 27.6% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed, compared to none in Bilingurr. However, Bilingurr has a younger population, with 27.5% of people under 15, and a much higher typical personal income for First Nations residents at $1,024, compared to $602 in Cable Beach.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, such as the same share of people using another language at home (11.2%) and an equal number of people per home (2.7).
