Denham Coral Bay

Denham and Coral Bay are two Western Australian coastal areas with very different profiles. Denham is an older community where the typical resident is 51 and 26.4% are seniors. It has a higher share of detached houses, with 75.6% being separate houses. In contrast, Coral Bay is much younger, with a typical age of 33, and a highly mobile population where 57.5% moved in the last five years. Coral Bay also has a more qualified workforce, with 23.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 12.5% in Denham, and a far higher typical weekly family income of $2,349 against $1,441 in Denham.

These two places have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with gaps in age and income widening significantly. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in some basic ways; for example, the number of people per home is almost identical at around 2.0. Both areas also have nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. While Denham is far more walkable in terms of health services and schools, Coral Bay has a higher number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents.
