Capel River Ludlow

Capel River and Ludlow are two nearby, sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ sharply in age and housing; Capel River is much older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 51.1% of homes owned outright. In contrast, Ludlow is far younger, with a typical age of 42 and a much higher share of children under 15 (28.0% compared to 10.3% in Capel River). Ludlow also sees more movement, with 41.6% of people arriving in the last five years, whereas only 16.0% of Capel River residents moved in that time.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly personal income of around $780 and lack local public transport. This common reliance on cars is reflected in the fact that neither area has any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. While they share these everyday patterns, the two areas are tracking differently, with Ludlow seeing far more people who identify as having no religion and a higher typical family income of $2,100 per week.
