Drummond Cove Cape Burney

Drummond Cove and Cape Burney (L) are nearby areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Drummond Cove is a younger community where the typical resident is 32, and 25.8% of people are children under 15. This is reflected in the housing, where 96.4% of homes have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Cape Burney (L) is much older, with a typical age of 51 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (24.3%). Many more residents there live alone (38.7%) and own their homes outright (41.9%).

Since 2011, the gap between the two has widened in several key ways. The difference in typical age has grown from just one year to 19 years, while the share of people living alone in Cape Burney (L) has climbed far above that of Drummond Cove. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain alike in their share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and the number of people who work from home. Both areas also lack local shops, health services and schools within a 15-minute walk.
