Northampton Three Springs

Northampton and Three Springs are two rural Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Northampton is far older, with a typical resident aged 53, compared to 42 in Three Springs. This age gap has widened since 2011. Three Springs has a more qualified workforce and more people in full-time work, while Northampton has a larger school system with 412 enrolments across four schools. Costs also differ, with typical weekly rents far higher in Northampton at $250, compared to $120 in Three Springs.

Everyday life in both places shares several common traits, including similar shares of people born overseas and almost identical proportions of adults with a bachelor degree. They are also alike in the typical size of their homes and the number of people living in them. However, the two areas have diverged in other ways; the gap in high-income earners has widened, and Three Springs has seen its share of full-time employment grow further ahead of Northampton since 2011.
