Bow Bridge Peaceful Bay

Bow Bridge and Peaceful Bay are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Bow Bridge is more diverse and wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $1,812 and 30.7% of residents born overseas. It also has a higher proportion of people who finished Year 12 (58.9%) and those who do not follow a religion (61.3%). Peaceful Bay is far older, with a typical age of 62 and nearly half of its residents (46.5%) aged 65 and over. This higher age profile is consistent with a higher share of people with long-term health conditions (42.3%) and a much higher rate of volunteering (36.9%).

These two nearby areas both consist entirely of separate houses and have no one who speaks little or no English. However, the gap in their age structures has widened significantly since 2011, with Peaceful Bay now far older than Bow Bridge. While Bow Bridge has more people working or looking for work (62.3% compared to 33.8% in Peaceful Bay), Peaceful Bay has more homes with three or more bedrooms and far more houses within a 15-minute walk of a park.
