Hester Winnejup

Winnejup and Hester are two nearby rural areas in Western Australia with distinct social and economic profiles. Winnejup has a more qualified and higher earning workforce, with 19.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 22.0% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. It is also a hub for volunteers, where 40.3% of residents give their time, compared to just 8.8% in Hester. In contrast, Hester has a much higher share of people with no religion at 70.3% and a higher rate of long-term health conditions at 36.6%.
