Cue Weld Range

Cue and Weld Range are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in age and income. Cue is a much older community, where the typical resident is 63 and over half the population is aged 65 or over. In contrast, Weld Range is far younger, with a typical age of 35 and no residents aged 65 or older. This age gap is matched by a wide difference in earnings; the typical weekly personal income in Weld Range is $2,333, which is far higher than the $517 typical income in Cue.

Both areas have tracked differently since 2011, with their gaps in age and income remaining stark. They share some similarities, such as having no recent overseas arrivals and very few people who speak little or no English. While Cue is more likely to have residents with bachelor degrees and long-term health conditions, Weld Range has a much higher share of people working in mining. This helps explain why Weld Range has more adults working or looking for work, at 95.7% compared to 36.3% in Cue.
