Narembeen Yilgarn

Yilgarn and Narembeen are both small Western Australian areas with a typical resident aged 47. Yilgarn has a much stronger link to the mining industry, and 20% of people earn $2,000 or more a week, which is well above the national figure. In contrast, Narembeen is focused on agriculture, where homes are more likely to be owned outright (56.1%) and more people volunteer (32.8%). Narembeen also has a younger First Nations population with a typical age of 18, while the typical age for this group in Yilgarn is 32.

Everyday life in both places is similar, with nearly identical shares of people in de facto relationships and those who have served in the Defence Force. However, the layout of the two areas differs; Narembeen is far more walkable, with 55.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and schools. Yilgarn has far more people living alone (42.2%) and a higher share of people born overseas. Since 2011, the gap in the number of people living alone has widened, while the difference in volunteering rates has narrowed.
