Hester Brook North Greenbushes

North Greenbushes and Hester Brook are nearby rural areas in Western Australia with very different demographics. Hester Brook has a much younger population, with 33.1% of residents being children under 15, compared to just 11.5% in North Greenbushes. This difference is reflected in education and work; residents in Hester Brook are far more likely to have a bachelor degree (27.3% vs 6.5%) and are more likely to be working or looking for work. North Greenbushes has a significantly older typical resident at 49, and a higher share of people who own their homes outright (51.9% vs 30.2%).

Everyday life in both places is very similar in some ways, as all households are separate houses and no one has a home within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or a school. Both areas also have similar shares of people born overseas and those using another language at home. While North Greenbushes has seen few people move in over the last five years, the gap between the two is widening as 43% of Hester Brook residents arrived within that time.
