Harvey Wagin

Wagin and Harvey are both regional Western Australian areas with similar proportions of children and university graduates. Wagin is notably more walkable, with 38.5% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and far more walkable amenities per person. It also has a higher share of volunteers at 30.3% and a higher typical age of 48. In contrast, Harvey receives far more rainfall, averaging 780mm compared to Wagin's 486mm, and is more culturally diverse, with a higher share of people born overseas (20.2%) and those using another language at home (10.7%).

Since 2011, the gaps between the two areas have shifted in different directions. The difference in typical age and the share of volunteers has narrowed, while the gap in the number of people born overseas and those living alone has widened. Both areas remain well above the national figure for the typical age of residents, though Wagin's population is slightly older overall.
