Mingenew Northampton

Northampton and Mingenew are two regional Western Australian areas with distinct profiles. Mingenew has a higher share of full-time workers (68.5%) and a more qualified workforce, while Northampton is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 53. Housing costs are far higher in Northampton, where typical weekly rents are $250 and monthly home-loan payments are $1,300, compared to $150 and $729 in Mingenew. Mingenew also has better walkability and public transport access, though Northampton is the only one of the two providing residents with health services within a 15-minute walk.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion. They are also similar in their proportion of First Nations residents (5.7%) and the share of homes owned outright. While they share these commonalities, the gap in education and job skills has widened since 2011, and the difference in the proportion of people born overseas has also grown.
