Capel Capel River

Capel and Capel River are neighbouring areas in Western Australia. Capel is a larger hub where the typical resident is 42, while Capel River is sparsely populated and has a much older typical resident at 52. There are significant gaps in housing and lifestyle; homes are far more likely to be owned outright in Capel River, whereas Capel has far more separate houses and a higher share of one-parent families at 17.3%. Capel is also more walkable (mostly car-dependent) with a variety of nearby shops and parks, while Capel River is car-dependent with no amenities within a 15-minute walk.

Both areas share similar typical weekly household incomes, with both sitting near the national figure. They also have a similar number of people per home and almost identical shares of First Nations residents. However, they differ in how they track over time; Capel has seen far more people move in over the last five years compared to Capel River.
