Latham vs Marchagee

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 45 km apart · Latham profile · Marchagee profile

Latham Marchagee

Latham (WA) and Marchagee are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Marchagee has a much older population, with 37.8% of residents aged 65 and over compared to just 13.1% in Latham (WA). Education and health levels also differ; 48.8% of people in Marchagee completed Year 12, which is far higher than the 20.0% in Latham (WA), and those with a long-term health condition are far more common in Marchagee at 31.1% compared to 13.1% in Latham (WA).

Both areas share some traits, such as having no residents who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and the same small number of public transport routes. These similarities exist alongside a gap in walkability, where Latham (WA) is mostly car-dependent and Marchagee is car-dependent. While Latham (WA) has more one-parent families, Marchagee sees far more people in de facto relationships and those using another language at home.
