Buckingham Meeking

Buckingham (WA) and Meeking are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. They differ most in their age and income profiles. The typical resident in Buckingham (WA) is far older at 49, while the typical person in Meeking is just 30. In terms of money, the typical household in Buckingham (WA) earns well higher weekly income at $2,250 compared to $1,625 in Meeking.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops, health services, or schools.
