Paynedale Upper Capel
Upper Capel and Paynedale are two small, neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different populations. Upper Capel is much older, with a typical resident aged 48 and 21.5% of people aged 65 or over, compared to Paynedale where no one is 65 or older and the typical age is 40. Paynedale has a much younger feel, with 35% of its people being children under 15. There is also a large gap in wealth; 62.5% of Paynedale households earn $3,000 or more a week, while only 23% of Upper Capel households reach that level.
Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of children under 15, though Paynedale is far above that mark. They share a similar landscape and a total lack of public transport or nearby shops and health services. In both places, no one owns a home without a motor vehicle. This suggests that despite the differences in age and income, daily life in both areas is shaped by a reliance on cars to get around.
