Carnamah Coorow

Carnamah and Coorow are two nearby Western Australian towns with distinct local profiles. Coorow is more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools, and parks. It also has a much higher share of one-parent families (17.5% compared to 4.5% in Carnamah) and a typical resident age that is noticeably older at 49. Carnamah has a higher proportion of renters (28.6% versus 17.6%) and a larger share of children under 15. It also has a higher proportion of people earning $2,000 or more a week.

These differences stand out against several shared traits, such as nearly identical typical weekly incomes and a similar share of residents born overseas. However, the gap in transport access is far higher in Coorow, which has many more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people. This contrasts with Carnamah, where the walk to the nearest stop is far higher, taking about 45 minutes.
