Ngaanyatjarra-Giles Warakurna

Warakurna is a young community where children under 15 make up 22.2% of the population, and 81.6% of people use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Ngaanyatjarra-Giles is far older with a typical resident aged 49, and no children under 15. There is also a significant wealth gap: the typical weekly household income in Ngaanyatjarra-Giles is $1,999, which is far higher than the $900 seen in Warakurna.
