Frankland River Perillup

Frankland River and Perillup are both rural Western Australian areas, though they differ in population and activity. Frankland River is larger and more dynamic, with 38.3% of people having moved there in the last five years and 70.0% of adults working or looking for work. It also has more local amenities, with 27.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. In contrast, Perillup is more sparsely populated, with a higher typical weekly family income of $2,750 and a larger share of residents with bachelor degrees (22.0%).

Both areas are very similar in their daily rhythms, with nearly identical rates of volunteering and the same small share of people earning $2,000 or more a week. This shared rural character is seen in their identical lack of public transport and very similar terrain slopes. However, the two areas are drifting apart in age; residents are noticeably older in Perillup, where the typical age is 52, compared to 46 in Frankland River.
