Mount Magnet Morawa

Mount Magnet (L) and Morawa (L) are two Western Australian towns with distinct social profiles. Morawa (L) has a much older population, with 28.4% aged 65 and over compared to 16.1% in Mount Magnet (L). Morawa (L) also has more residents who finished Year 12 (32.0% versus 19.7%) and a higher share of people with no religion (35.2% versus 24.0%). In contrast, Mount Magnet (L) has far more one-parent families (24.7% compared to 12.7%) and a higher proportion of full-time employees at 78.2%, compared to 67.9% in Morawa (L).

Daily life in both places is similar, with nearly identical typical weekly incomes of around $1,200 and a similar proportion of children under 15. They also share a high rate of detached housing and very few people who use a language other than English at home. While both are walkable, Morawa (L) is very walkable and has far better access to health services and public transport. Since 2011, the gap in the number of seniors has flipped, as Morawa (L) has become the older of the two areas.
