Wanarn Warburton

Warburton (WA) and Wanarn are two remote areas in Western Australia. Warburton (WA) is much younger, with a typical resident aged 28 compared to 39 in Wanarn. This age difference is linked to a much higher share of children under 15 in Warburton (WA) (20.2% versus 15.4%) and more people caring for children unpaid (52.5% versus 26.0%). Health and housing also differ; residents in Wanarn are far more likely to have a long-term health condition (28.2% versus 14.3%) and those who need help with daily activities (12.8% versus 2.5%).

Both areas are almost identical in the share of people born overseas, which sits around 3.5%. They also share a very high use of other languages at home and a lack of outright home ownership. While Warburton (WA) has more adults working or looking for work, the gaps between the two areas have remained consistent or widened in measures like age and health since 2011.
