Nungarin Wyalkatchem

Wyalkatchem and Nungarin are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Wyalkatchem has a higher typical age of 54 and a far higher share of people living alone at 47.4%. It also has more residents with long-term health conditions (39.4% compared to 27.5% in Nungarin). In contrast, Nungarin has a far higher share of people in de facto relationships, at 24.8% compared to 10.6% in Wyalkatchem. Wyalkatchem is also more walkable, with 58% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while Nungarin has no homes with that level of access.

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures. While the gap in people living alone has widened, the difference in typical rent has narrowed. Some leads have even flipped, such as the typical age and the share of adults with a bachelor degree. Despite these shifts, they remain similar in other ways; both have roughly the same proportion of children under 15 and a similar rate of volunteering, at around 32%.
