Bremer Bay Needilup

Bremer Bay and Needilup are two distinct Western Australian areas with very different populations. Bremer Bay is much older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 29.7% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Needilup is far younger; its typical resident is 34, and children under 15 make up 27.3% of the population. This difference is reflected in the homes, with Needilup having a far higher share of couples with children (74.6%) and more people caring for children unpaid (53.6%), while Bremer Bay has a far higher share of people living alone (36.4%).

Daily life in both places shares some similarities, as typical weekly household incomes are nearly the same at around $1,100 to $1,200. Both areas also have a similar share of people born overseas (around 12% to 13%) and no residents who speak little or no English. While they share these traits, the two areas differ in their layouts; Bremer Bay has many more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and parks, whereas Needilup is much more car-dependent.
