Narrogin Williams

Narrogin and Williams are nearby Western Australian areas with very different layouts. Narrogin is more walkable (mostly car-dependent) than Williams (car-dependent), with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and groceries. However, Williams has a much higher share of people working or looking for work at 67.4%, compared to 56.5% in Narrogin. This higher employment rate in Williams is consistent with its stronger overall advantage and higher typical incomes for First Nations residents, whose typical personal income is $1,093, far higher than the $447 seen in Narrogin.

Since 2011, the two areas have seen some gaps widen while others have closed. The difference in the share of children under 15 has grown, with Williams now at 21.8% and Narrogin at 17.2%. At the same time, the gap in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has narrowed, as Narrogin's share of 5.5% is now closer to Williams' 1.8% than it was in the past. Both areas remain similar in other ways, such as their typical monthly home loan payments and the number of people per bedroom.
