Bridgetown Wandillup

Bridgetown and Wandillup are nearby Western Australian areas with very different characters. Bridgetown is a larger town where residents are far older, with a typical age of 52. In contrast, Wandillup is a sparsely populated area where the typical resident is younger at 39. There are significant financial gaps between them; the typical weekly household income in Wandillup is $1,875, which is far higher than the $1,082 found in Bridgetown. Wandillup also has a much more qualified workforce, with 60% of residents having finished Year 12 compared to 44.7% in Bridgetown.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, and the gap in their typical ages is now 13 years. While they share similar terrain and have a nearly identical share of people who speak little or no English, their daily lives differ. Bridgetown is mostly car-dependent but has some walkable services and public transport, whereas Wandillup is entirely car-dependent with no public transport stops. This is consistent with the fact that Wandillup is far more sparsely populated than Bridgetown.
