Coorow Gunyidi

Coorow and Gunyidi are two nearby Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Coorow is a more established hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 49 and 22.3% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Gunyidi is sparsely populated and notably younger, with a typical age of 35 and no one aged 65 or older. Gunyidi also has a far more highly qualified workforce, with 29.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 10.5% in Coorow, which is consistent with its much higher typical weekly family income of $3,125 against $1,687 in Coorow.

Both areas have remained similar in some ways, such as having no residents who speak little or no English and no one who commutes by public transport. However, they have tracked differently since 2011, as Coorow has maintained its role as a more accessible centre. Coorow is somewhat walkable with several amenities and public transport stops, while Gunyidi remains car-dependent with no transport stops or shops within a 15-minute walk.
