Harris River Worsley

Harris River and Worsley are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Harris River is more family-oriented, with 21.4% of its residents being children under 15, compared to none in Worsley. Incomes are also quite different; the typical weekly household income in Harris River is $2,374, which is far higher than the $1,125 seen in Worsley. Conversely, Worsley has a much older population, with 35.9% of residents aged 65 and over, while the typical age in Worsley is 60 compared to 47 in Harris River.

Both areas share a lack of local infrastructure, with no residents living within a 15-minute walk of public transport, parks, or shops. This isolation is a common thread, as both are far from the city and have no public transport stops. While they share these similarities, the gap in typical weekly household income has widened significantly since 2011, as Harris River has seen its typical income rise far more than that of Worsley.
