Cue vs Leinster

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 281 km apart · Cue profile · Leinster profile

Cue Leinster

Leinster (L) and Cue (L) are two small Western Australian towns with very different populations. Leinster (L) is a young, higher-earning area where the typical resident is 30 and children under 15 make up 27.8% of the population. In contrast, Cue (L) is much older, with a typical resident aged 63 and 55.6% of people aged 65 and over. This difference is reflected in incomes, with the typical household in Leinster (L) earning $2,531 a week, far higher than the $703 seen in Cue (L).

Both areas are similar in that no one reports speaking little or no English, and both sit near the national figure for the share of people who do not identify with a religion. Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have grown or flipped. For example, the age gap has widened, and the difference in typical weekly household income has increased from $669 to $1,828. While Leinster (L) is now somewhat walkable, Cue (L) remains mostly car-dependent.
