Capel Brunswick

Capel and Brunswick (L) are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different layouts. Capel is more residential, where 88.5% of homes have three or more bedrooms and 20.8% of the population are children under 15. In contrast, Brunswick (L) is much more convenient for pedestrians; it is far more likely that residents can walk to health services (84.9%), groceries (81.1%), and public transport (63.6%) within 15 minutes. Capel also has a higher typical weekly personal income of $694 compared to $549 in Brunswick (L).

Despite this, they share a typical resident age of 42 and almost identical rates of home ownership and volunteering. Both areas have a similar share of people born overseas, around 13.5%, and both sit well below the national figure for the proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher.
