Collie Harvey

Harvey and Collie are nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Harvey is a more affluent area with a typical resident aged 40, while Collie is older, with a typical age of 44. The gaps in advantage and education are stark; 44.2% of Harvey residents completed Year 12 compared to 30.1% in Collie. Harvey also has a much larger workforce, with 62.4% of adults working or looking for work, which is far higher than the 51.2% seen in Collie. Public transport is far more available in Harvey, where 55.1% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of a stop, compared to just 15.9% in Collie.

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, particularly the differences in education, employment, and the proportion of people born overseas. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share several commonalities. They have almost identical rates of renting (around 20%) and nearly the same number of people providing unpaid care. Residents in both areas also experience similar daily environments, with about 32% of homes having a 15-minute-city walkshed and nearly identical average maximum temperatures.
