Busselton Peppermint Grove Beach

Busselton and Peppermint Grove Beach (L) are nearby Western Australian areas with very different layouts. Busselton is a much larger hub where life is more walkable; it is mostly car-dependent, but far more residents live within a 15-minute walk of groceries (36.7%) and public transport (82.1%). In contrast, Peppermint Grove Beach (L) is car-dependent and has no residents within walking distance of schools or shops. This smaller area is wealthier, with a far higher share of people holding bachelor degrees (26.6% vs 14.6%) and households earning $3,000 or more per week (26.1% vs 14.4%).

Both areas have a similar share of people born overseas, around 19%, which sits close to the national figure. While they share similar typical weekly rents and home loan payments, they have drifted apart in other ways since 2011. The gap in typical household income has widened significantly, and Peppermint Grove Beach (L) has seen its lead in university qualifications grow. Meanwhile, Busselton has become noticeably more diverse, with a larger gap in the share of people using another language at home.
