Nungarin Yilgarn

Yilgarn and Nungarin are both sparsely populated areas of Western Australia, though they differ significantly in their economies and residents. Yilgarn is much wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $2,057 compared to $1,268 in Nungarin. This gap is consistent with the workforce; Yilgarn has a much higher share of people working in mining, while Nungarin is more focused on agriculture. Yilgarn also has a more international feel, with 18.2% of people born overseas compared to just 7.8% in Nungarin.

Both areas are very similar in their general living conditions, with nearly identical housing types and car-dependent walkability scores. They share a similar climate and an overall level of advantage that sits just below the national figure. While they are alike in these ways, some gaps are changing; for instance, the difference in the share of people without a religion has widened since 2011, with Nungarin now far higher at 45.5%.
