Halls Creek Wyndham-East Kimberley

Wyndham-East Kimberley and Halls Creek are both remote areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in wealth and demographics. Halls Creek has a much stronger First Nations presence, with 77.6% of residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander compared to 33.6% in Wyndham-East Kimberley. This is consistent with a higher share of people speaking a First Nations language in Halls Creek (57.5% versus 20.1%). Financial gaps are also wide; the typical weekly household income in Wyndham-East Kimberley is $1,858, which is far higher than the $1,098 typical for Halls Creek.

Both areas are almost identical in their limited access to money and resources. They share a similar daily reality in terms of transport, as both are mostly car-dependent and have no public transport stops. While they are alike in these ways, other gaps are growing. The difference in typical weekly income and the gap in Year 12 completion rates have both widened since 2011.
