Bilingurr Roebuck

Bilingurr and Roebuck are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Bilingurr is a younger, more transient place where the typical resident is 32 and half of all homes are rented. It has a higher share of people working or looking for work (74.9%) and many more families with children, with 33.7% of people providing unpaid childcare. In contrast, Roebuck has a notably older population, with the typical resident being 39 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (14.2%). Residents in Roebuck are much more likely to own their homes outright (44.9%) and there is a higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals (32.2%).

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, such as having the same typical number of people per home (2.7) and nearly identical rates of people speaking little or no English. Both areas are largely car-dependent, with neither area having any public transport stops or health services within a 15-minute walk. While Bilingurr is mostly car-dependent and Roebuck is car-dependent, the gap in walkability is far higher in Bilingurr.
