Hester Hester Brook

Hester Brook and Hester are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Western Australia. They differ most in their professional and educational profiles; 27.3% of adults in Hester Brook hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to just 5.0% in Hester. This is consistent with the higher proportion of managers in Hester Brook and a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (21.6% versus 6.3%). Hester Brook also has a much higher rate of volunteering at 36.4%, while Hester is more likely to have homes owned outright (51.3% compared to 30.2%).

While these two places differ in wealth and education, they share similar basics, such as having no residents who speak little or no English and the same number of local schools. However, the gaps between them in several areas are widening. For example, the difference in the share of people who have completed Year 12 has grown, with Hester Brook now 18 percentage points higher than Hester. Both areas remain very car-dependent, as neither has any public transport stops or amenities within a 15-minute walk.
