Mount Magnet Perenjori

Mount Magnet and Perenjori are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. There are significant differences in their social and economic profiles. Perenjori has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work (57.3% compared to 35.2%) and far higher scores for overall advantage, education, and access to resources. Mount Magnet has a higher proportion of one-parent families (23.4% versus 10.4%) and children under 15 (18.8% versus 14.1%). It also has a much higher share of First Nations people, at 8.9% compared to 2.9% in Perenjori.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted, with the difference in First Nations population and the share of people working narrowing. Despite this, some divides have grown, such as the gap in the share of people with no religion, which is now 11 points higher in Perenjori. The two areas remain very similar in other ways, including their typical weekly rent of around $170 to $175 and the fact that about 90% of homes in both are separate houses.
