Bowgada Gutha

Gutha and Bowgada are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ sharply in age and health, as the typical resident in Gutha is just 30, while the typical resident in Bowgada is 52. This younger profile in Gutha is reflected in a much higher share of children under 15 (39.0%) and a lower rate of long-term health conditions (9.8%), compared to 48.5% in Bowgada. Income and education also vary; Gutha has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (25.9%) and a higher typical household income ($2,250 per week) than Bowgada ($1,437).

Both areas are entirely car-dependent and share a lack of nearby public transport, shops, or schools. They are also alike in having no Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and no residents who speak a language other than English. While they share these same rural constraints, the gap in health and age is stark, with Bowgada having a far higher share of seniors (18.2%) and people with long-term health conditions.
