Collie Harris River

Collie (WA) and Harris River are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Collie (WA) is a larger hub where 32.5% of people live alone and 21.3% of households rent. In contrast, Harris River is sparsely populated and much wealthier; the typical household income there is $2,374 a week, which is far higher than the $1,177 typical in Collie (WA). Harris River also has a much higher share of people who finished Year 12 (43.4% compared to 29.6% in Collie (WA)) and a higher rate of volunteers at 32.6%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 and share a few common traits, such as very low rates of people who speak little or no English. They are also alike in how many people per bedroom their homes have. While Collie (WA) is mostly car-dependent, it is far more walkable than Harris River, which is completely car-dependent. Harris River residents are more likely to have a mortgage and larger homes, while Collie (WA) has more people who own their homes outright.
