Balgo Warmun

Balgo and Warmun are two sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Balgo has a far higher share of people in de facto relationships (26.8% compared to 4.7%) and a much higher rate of unpaid housework (39.4% versus 12.5%). In contrast, Warmun has a far higher share of one-parent families (44.5% compared to 21.8%) and far more recent arrivals from overseas (36.8% versus 3.6%). Balgo is also more walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, while Warmun has none.

Both areas have a similar share of homes with three or more bedrooms, which is about the same as the national figure. They are also effectively alike in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,200. While they share many traits, some gaps are shifting; the difference in the number of people using another language at home has narrowed since 2011, though it remains far higher in Balgo.
