Northampton Mullewa

Northampton (L) and Mullewa (L) are two small Western Australian towns with very different profiles. Northampton (L) is far older, with a typical resident aged 57 and 35.8% of people aged 65 and over. This age profile is consistent with a higher rate of long-term health conditions (35.1%) and a larger share of people needing help with daily activities (8.9%). In contrast, Mullewa (L) has a younger feel; its typical resident is 45, and it has a much higher proportion of children under 15 (23.1%) and one-parent families (32.8%).

Since 2011, the two towns have drifted further apart in several key ways. While they are both similarly "somewhat walkable" and have almost identical typical weekly incomes, the gaps in their age and housing structures have widened. For example, the age gap has grown from nothing in 2011 to 12 years today. Mullewa (L) has also become much more likely to be rented (31.8%) compared to Northampton (L) (14.2%), and its workforce is far more likely to be employed full-time (66.7% compared to 50.6% in Northampton (L)).
