Dumbleyung Wagin

Wagin and Dumbleyung are two rural areas in Western Australia with distinct profiles. Wagin has a larger population and a more walkable layout, with 57.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to 35.9% in Dumbleyung. Wagin is also home to an older population, with 27.5% of residents aged 65 and over, and a higher share of people born overseas at 16.1%. In contrast, Dumbleyung has a higher proportion of full-time workers (64.7%) and more people working from home (25.3%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have often widened. The difference in the number of people aged 65 and over has grown, and the gap in people working from home has increased to 15 percentage points. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in some ways, with nearly identical shares of people who have no religion and almost the same typical weekly household income of around $1,200.
