Tom Price Marble Bar

Tom Price and Marble Bar (L) are two different types of settlements in Western Australia. Tom Price is a larger town with a young population, where the typical resident is 31 and 31.6% of people are children under 15. It is a high-income area where typical weekly household earnings are $3,150. In contrast, Marble Bar (L) is sparsely populated and far more diverse, with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 45.1%. Residents there are older, with a typical age of 42, and a typical weekly household income of $1,152.

Both areas are effectively alike in that almost everyone speaks English and very few people have a mental health condition. While they share these traits, the gaps between them have widened significantly since 2011. This is seen in the income divide, which has grown to a $1,998 difference in typical weekly household earnings, and in the housing market, where Tom Price has become far more reliant on renting.
