Halls Creek McBeath

Halls Creek (WA) and McBeath are neighbouring areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in age and income. Halls Creek (WA) is a young place where the typical resident is 30 and children under 15 make up 25.5% of the population. It is also a focal point for services, with a somewhat walkable score and many homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (88.0%) and groceries (78.8%).

Both areas share a similar proportion of people who use a language other than English at home, at around 25%. This commonality exists alongside a vast gap in wealth and health.
