Cue Yalgoo

Yalgoo and Cue are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Yalgoo is much younger, with a typical resident aged 34 compared to 54 in Cue. This younger age profile in Yalgoo is consistent with a higher share of one-parent families (36.4%) and larger households. In contrast, Cue has a much higher proportion of seniors, with 34.4% of people aged 65 and over. Other key differences include typical weekly household incomes, which are far higher in Yalgoo at $1,575 compared to $682 in Cue, and a much higher First Nations population in Yalgoo at 19.4% compared to 6.5% in Cue.

Everyday life in both places is similar in that no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. They also share very similar unemployment rates and have nearly identical average school sizes. While they share these commonalities, the gap between them in several areas has grown since 2011. For example, the difference in the typical age of residents has widened from 16 to 20 years, and the gap in overseas births has increased from nearly zero to 16.1 percentage points.
