Mukinbudin Yilgarn

Yilgarn and Mukinbudin are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia, but they differ significantly in their demographics and layout. Mukinbudin is much more family-oriented, with 22.3% of people being children under 15, compared to just 9.9% in Yilgarn. This is reflected in the homes, as Mukinbudin has a much higher share of people caring for children unpaid (27.7%) and a much higher rate of volunteering (37.3%). Yilgarn is more likely to have people living alone (42.2%) and has a much stronger First Nations presence, with 11.5% of residents speaking a First Nations language, while Mukinbudin has none.

Since 2011, the gap in the number of children and the proportion of people living alone has widened between the two. They have also seen a flip in their typical age; Yilgarn is now noticeably older than Mukinbudin, with a typical resident aged 47 compared to 44. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, such as having nearly identical rates of long-term health conditions and similar typical weekly rents of around $150.
