Coolup has a larger share of full-time workers (62.1%) and more high-income earners, with 17.1% of people earning $2,000 or more a week. It also has more large homes, as 93.3% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Hamel has a higher proportion of recent overseas arrivals (20.9%) and a more diverse population, with 8.4% of residents using a language other than English at home. First Nations residents are also far older in Hamel, with a typical age of 24 compared to 13 in Coolup, and they earn a much higher typical personal income of $2,166.

Both areas are almost identical in several ways, including their typical weekly family income of around $2,130 and the fact that every home is a separate house. They also share similar rates of volunteering and unemployment. While they are both mostly car-dependent, Coolup has slightly more access to public transport and groceries within walking distance. These similarities exist alongside a widening gap in education, as the share of people who completed Year 12 is now far higher in Coolup.
