Bremer Bay Lake Grace

Lake Grace (L) and Bremer Bay (L) are two small Western Australian towns with very different profiles. Lake Grace (L) is a much younger area, where 22.6% of residents are children and the typical person is 36. It has a higher share of working adults (71.8%) and a typical weekly household income that is far higher at $1,663. In contrast, Bremer Bay (L) is an older community; 35.5% of residents are seniors and the typical age is 57. This age gap is reflected in the homes, with 42.6% of Bremer Bay (L) dwellings owned outright, compared to 29.7% in Lake Grace (L).

Both areas are somewhat walkable and have almost identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, at around 3%. While they share similar housing styles, the gap in their age structures has widened since 2011. The difference in typical incomes has also grown, with Lake Grace (L) pulling further ahead. This trend is consistent with the family makeup, as Lake Grace (L) has far more couples with children and more people caring for them unpaid.
