Ludlow Ruabon

Ludlow and Ruabon are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Western Australia. Ludlow has a younger feel, with 28% of its residents being children under 15 compared to 15.9% in Ruabon. It also has more people living alone (21.7%) and more one-parent families. Ruabon stands out for its higher proportion of high earners, with 40% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 19.6% in Ludlow. Typical weekly rents are also well higher in Ruabon at $400, while Ludlow is $285.

These two areas share a similar housing landscape, with both consisting entirely of separate houses and having the same typical weekly family income of $2,100. While they are similar in these ways, the gap in household income is widening, as Ruabon now has a much higher share of top earners. Both areas sit far below the national figure for people born overseas, though Ludlow has a well higher share of residents who use a language other than English at home.
