Laverton Leinster

Laverton (L) and Leinster (L) are two small Western Australian towns with very different profiles. Laverton (L) has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 37.1%, and its residents are far older, with a typical age of 39. In contrast, Leinster (L) is much younger, with a typical age of 30 and a far higher share of children under 15 (27.8%). This younger age profile in Leinster (L) is consistent with a higher proportion of couples with children and a much larger share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (38.4%).

Both areas are similarly isolated, as no homes in either town are within a 10-minute walk of public transport. While they share some similarities in the rate of people working from home, the two towns have tracked differently since 2011. Gaps have widened in several areas, including typical personal incomes and the number of people who have moved recently. At the same time, the difference in the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents has narrowed.
