Kookynie Mullingar

Kookynie and Mullingar are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia, but they differ sharply in their demographics and wealth. Mullingar is much more family-oriented, with 22.0% of people being children under 15 and a far higher share of adults caring for children unpaid. In contrast, Kookynie is largely non-residential and has a very small population of children (3.0%). Income patterns also diverge; while typical household income is far higher in Mullingar ($2,211 compared to $1,312), typical personal income is far higher in Kookynie ($1,971 compared to $1,187), where 39.2% of people earn $2,000 or more a week.

These two areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in a few key areas, such as their similar rates of mental health conditions and lack of people who speak little or no English. Life in Mullingar is more connected, with a somewhat walkable score and many homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries. Kookynie is car-dependent, with no such amenities within walking distance. Both areas maintain a strong connection to the mining industry, though it is far more dominant in Kookynie.
