Green Head Mingenew

Green Head (L) and Mingenew (L) are small residential areas in Western Australia with very different age profiles. Green Head (L) is a much older community, where the typical resident is 66 and over half the population (53.9%) is aged 65 or over. In contrast, Mingenew (L) is younger, with a typical age of 55 and a much higher share of children under 15 (17.3% compared to 5.8% in Green Head). This age gap is reflected in the homes; Green Head (L) has far more outright home ownership at 64.8% and more large homes with three or more bedrooms.

Both areas are nearly identical in their rental markets, with about 15% of homes being rented in each. However, the two places are drifting apart in other ways. The gap in typical ages has widened significantly since 2011, and Green Head (L) has seen a sharp increase in the share of people who volunteer. While Mingenew (L) is much more walkable for daily needs—with almost all homes within a short walk of groceries and schools—Green Head (L) has a higher share of people working from home.
