Bowelling Meeking

Bowelling and Meeking are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. There are stark differences in who lives there and what they earn. Residents in Bowelling are far older, with a typical age of 48 compared to just 30 in Meeking. Income levels also differ sharply; the typical personal weekly income in Meeking is $1,437, which is far higher than the $575 seen in Bowelling.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 as car-dependent locations with no homes within walking distance of parks, schools or shops. They are also alike in their typical household weekly income, which sits around $1,600 for both. This shared reliance on cars is consistent with their low walkability scores and the fact that neither area has any public transport stops.
