Drummond Cove Kalbarri

Drummond Cove and Kalbarri are two different Western Australian locations with contrasting demographics. Drummond Cove is a young area where the typical resident is 32, and children under 15 make up 25.8% of the population. It has higher incomes, with typical weekly household earnings of $2,166 and a higher share of adults working or looking for work (72.6%). In contrast, Kalbarri is much older, with a typical age of 53 and a larger proportion of seniors (27.3%). Many residents there own their homes outright (44.9%) and the typical weekly household income is lower at $1,100.

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged significantly, with the gaps in age, income, and home ownership all widening or flipping. Despite these shifting trends, they share some common traits, such as similar rates of unemployment (around 3.3% to 3.8%) and very similar proportions of people who speak little or no English (0.3%). While Kalbarri is more somewhat walkable with better access to shops and schools, Drummond Cove is mostly car-dependent, though it has much higher access to public transport.
