Margaret River Peppermint Grove Beach

Margaret River and Peppermint Grove Beach (L) are very different Western Australian areas. Margaret River is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where 56% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 76.9% are near a school. In contrast, Peppermint Grove Beach (L) is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or schools. There are also sharp contrasts in demographics: residents are far older in Peppermint Grove Beach (L), where the typical age is 49 compared to 38 in Margaret River. Wealth and housing also differ, with 26.1% of households in Peppermint Grove Beach (L) earning $3,000 or more per week, compared to 14.5% in Margaret River.

Everyday life shares some common ground, as both areas have similar typical weekly incomes around $830 and almost identical rates of volunteering. However, several gaps have widened since 2011. The age difference has grown to 11 years, and the gap in high-income households has increased significantly. Margaret River has also become more distinct through its higher share of recent overseas arrivals and people who use a language other than English at home.
