Wagin Broomehill Village

Wagin and Broomehill Village (L) are two small Western Australian settlements with very different layouts. Wagin is more developed, described as somewhat walkable, with many residents able to walk to groceries, health services, and parks within 15 minutes. In contrast, Broomehill Village (L) is mostly car-dependent, where no homes are within a 15-minute walk of those same services. Other key differences include a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals in Wagin (13.9% compared to 0.0%) and a higher proportion of children under 15 in Broomehill Village (L) (22.3% versus 14.1%).

These two areas share a similar social profile, with nearly identical rates of people who have completed Year 12 and a similar share of the population identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. While they share these basics, some gaps are shifting. The difference in home ownership has narrowed, and the gap in the number of people earning $2,000 or more a week has also shrunk since 2016. Broomehill Village (L) has seen its lead in university qualifications grow, while Wagin has become more likely to have residents without a religion.
