Boundain Jaloran

Boundain and Jaloran are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ sharply in age and background: Boundain is far older, with a typical resident aged 52 and 26.4% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Jaloran is much younger, with a typical age of 31 and no residents aged 65 and over. Jaloran also has a more diverse population, with people born overseas making up 24.4% of the area compared to just 5.7% in Boundain. This difference extends to education and income, as Jaloran has far more adults with a bachelor degree (23.3% versus 9.8%) and a higher typical weekly household income of $2,124 compared to $1,562 in Boundain.

Both areas are car-dependent and lack public transport and nearby shops. They are also very similar in their unemployment rates and the typical personal income of their residents. However, the gap in educational attainment has widened over time, as Jaloran now has far more people who completed Year 12 than Boundain. This shift is consistent with Jaloran's higher rate of full-time employment, which is 95.2% compared to 55.6% in Boundain.
