Coorow Morawa

Coorow and Morawa are small Western Australian towns with a few stark differences. Coorow is far older, with a typical resident aged 57 compared to 42 in Morawa. This age gap is reflected in the homes, where Coorow has a much higher share of seniors and Morawa has many more children. Morawa is also more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (64.9% vs 13.0%) and health services (64.7% vs 23.3%). In terms of finances, typical weekly incomes are well higher in Morawa at $1,443, while typical monthly home-loan payments are far higher in Coorow at $1,200.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two have generally widened, particularly regarding age and income. However, they remain very similar in other ways, with nearly identical rates of volunteering and unemployment. Both areas also have the same number of schools and a similar proportion of people who use another language at home. These shared traits exist alongside a widening divide in demographics, as the typical resident in Coorow has become even older relative to those in Morawa.
