Jarrahwood Upper Capel

Upper Capel and Jarrahwood are two rural Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Upper Capel has a larger population and significantly higher incomes, with a typical weekly family income of $2,062 compared to $1,125 in Jarrahwood. There are also notable differences in demographics and housing; Upper Capel has more people per home (2.8) and a younger First Nations population than Jarrahwood. In contrast, Jarrahwood has a noticeably older general population, with a typical age of 54, and much higher typical monthly home-loan payments of $3,770 compared to $1,647 in Upper Capel.

Everyday life in both places is very similar in terms of accessibility, as both are car-dependent and have no residents within a 15-minute walk of public transport, groceries, or health services. This shared lack of local amenities is consistent across both areas, which also both have no public transport stops. While Upper Capel has two schools within 3km and Jarrahwood has none, both remain sparsely populated areas where the gap in street connectivity is the most striking physical difference.
