Cue Morawa

Cue (L) and Morawa (L) are both small Western Australian towns, but they have very different residents. Cue (L) is much older, with a typical age of 63 and 55.6% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Morawa (L) has a typical age of 44 and far more children, with 22.1% under 15. This is reflected in the homes; Morawa (L) has a far higher share of three-plus bedroom houses (72.7%) and typical weekly incomes are far higher at $1,238, compared to $703 in Cue (L).

Both towns share similar rates of full-time employment, around 68%, and very few residents use a language other than English at home. While they share these employment patterns, the gap in their walkability has grown. Morawa (L) is very walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Cue (L) is mostly car-dependent, and the typical resident is now far older than in Morawa (L), a gap that has widened since 2011.
