Burlong Katrine

Burlong and Katrine are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Burlong has a much younger population, with a typical resident aged 35, and it is far more diverse, as 92.4% of people were born overseas. In contrast, Katrine is much older, with a typical resident aged 49, and has a much higher share of children under 15 (21.2% compared to 0.9% in Burlong). Financial gaps are also wide; the typical household income in Katrine is $1,666 a week, which is far higher than the $725 seen in Burlong.

Both areas are completely car-dependent and lack local amenities within walking distance. This shared isolation is mirrored in their lack of public transport. While they share these physical constraints, their social landscapes differ, with Katrine having far more volunteers and people providing unpaid care. Since 2011, these two neighbours have remained distinct, with Katrine maintaining a much higher proportion of adults working or looking for work.
