Geraldton Rangeway

Geraldton and Rangeway are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Geraldton is an older and more affluent area, where the typical resident is 47 and typical weekly personal income is $645. It has a higher share of university degrees (14.0%) and is more likely to have residents born overseas (18.6%). In contrast, Rangeway is much younger, with a typical age of 36. It has a far higher proportion of First Nations people (22.1%) and one-parent families (38.4%), and is dominated by separate houses, with 89.6% of homes being detached.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who identify as having no religion. They are also very similar in their daily rhythms, with nearly identical rates of people providing unpaid care and those who have served in the Defence Force. While Geraldton has more public transport options and walkable amenities, both areas are very accessible, with almost every home located within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
