Mullingar Williamstown

Mullingar and Williamstown (WA) are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Mullingar is a younger area, with a typical resident aged 34 and 22% of the population being children under 15. This is consistent with the higher number of people caring for children and a typical weekly household income that is far higher at $2,211. In contrast, Williamstown (WA) is much older, with a typical resident aged 50 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (23.4%). Residents there are also more likely to live alone (38.6%) and face more health challenges, with 43.5% having a long-term health condition.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, with neither seeing a major shift in their core identity. They share some basic characteristics, such as having no residents who speak little or no English and no use of public transport for commuting. While they differ in wealth and age, both are remote enough that they lack public transport stops and have nearly identical school advantage scores.
