Brunswick Cookernup

Brunswick (L) and Cookernup (L) are nearby Western Australian areas with very different levels of accessibility. Brunswick (L) is somewhat walkable, with 81.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of both schools and groceries. In contrast, Cookernup (L) is car-dependent, and no homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school or health service. These differences extend to the home and pocketbook: Cookernup (L) has a much higher typical weekly income of $1,773 compared to $1,205 in Brunswick (L), and 86.4% of its homes have three or more bedrooms, while Brunswick (L) sits at 76.0%.

Both areas share a similar makeup in other ways, with nearly identical shares of children under 15 and people needing daily help. They also have almost the same proportion of detached houses. While the gap in the number of people living alone has narrowed since 2011, the difference in typical incomes has widened. Similarly, the gap in the number of people aged 65 and over has narrowed over the last decade, with Brunswick (L) remaining well higher at 20.2% compared to 14.9% in Cookernup (L).
