Newlands Upper Capel

Upper Capel and Newlands (WA) are neighbouring rural areas in Western Australia. Upper Capel is more highly educated, with 25.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 13.5% in Newlands (WA). This is consistent with more people in Upper Capel completing Year 12 (57.2% vs 40.4%) and a higher share of people working or looking for work (64.0% vs 53.1%). In contrast, Newlands (WA) has a much higher share of people with a long-term health condition (37.5% vs 22.6%) and more people living alone (26.8% vs 16.4%).

Both areas are very similar in many ways, including their typical weekly personal incomes and the fact that no one uses public transport to commute. They also share nearly identical rates of volunteering and a similar drive time to the city. While they are alike in these respects, the gap in religious affiliation is striking, with no religion being far higher in Upper Capel (55.9% vs 37.5%).
