Meda Mount Hardman

Mount Hardman and Meda are two remote areas in Western Australia, though they differ greatly in population and wealth. Mount Hardman is home to 502 people and has a very young typical age of 24. It is a place where homes are crowded, with 4.1 people per home on average, and typical weekly family income is far below the national figure at $612. In contrast, Meda is sparsely populated with only 17 residents. It is much wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $2,249, which is about the same as the national figure.

Both areas have remained very similar in their lack of infrastructure since 2011. They are both car-dependent and have no homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport, parks, or health services. Both areas also have two schools each, and the average school advantage scores are nearly identical.
