Bramley Cowaramup

Cowaramup and Bramley are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Cowaramup is a family-heavy area where 26.3% of people are children and 37.5% of residents provide unpaid childcare. It is also more walkable, with a score of 2.4 (mostly car-dependent) and many homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools and health services. In contrast, Bramley is smaller and has a noticeably older population, with 21.2% aged 65 and over. This is consistent with a higher share of people reporting long-term health conditions (30.1%) and a higher proportion of homes owned outright (41.2%).

These two areas share a very similar typical weekly personal income, with Cowaramup at $876 and Bramley at $858. They also have almost identical typical weekly rents and similar numbers of people per home. While Bramley is car-dependent, both areas are far from the national figure for public transport access. Since 2011, the gap in typical age has remained a key distinction, as residents in Bramley continue to be older than those in Cowaramup.
