Morawa Yalgoo

Morawa and Yalgoo are two sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Morawa is far more likely to have children, with 22.3% of people under 15 compared to just 7.1% in Yalgoo. This contributes to a much older typical age in Morawa (42 years) than in Yalgoo (34 years). Typical weekly incomes differ sharply, with Yalgoo residents earning $1,397, which is far higher than the $742 typical for Morawa. This is consistent with their main industries, as Yalgoo is driven by mining while Morawa relies more on agriculture, forestry, and fishing.

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage. They also share very similar family incomes and have the same number of public transport routes and stops. While they share these similarities, the gap in home ownership has widened; Morawa now has a far higher share of homes owned outright (48.6%) than Yalgoo (22.7%).
