Burekup Cookernup

Burekup (L) and Cookernup (L) are two small Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Burekup (L) is a younger community where 27.2% of people are children, and 39.7% of adults provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, Cookernup (L) has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 45 compared to 36 in Burekup (L). This age difference is reflected in health and housing, as long-term health conditions are far higher in Cookernup (L) at 36.3%, and a far higher share of homes there are owned outright (33.8%).

The gap in the number of children between the two areas has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two places share several characteristics, such as having almost identical proportions of people in de facto relationships and people using other languages at home. Both areas are dominated by detached houses and have no residents without a motor vehicle. While Burekup (L) has far better access to schools and parks within a short walk, Cookernup (L) is the only one where some homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries.
