Demographics & Identity in Corrigin
Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.
A shrinking population and an increasing number of seniors have shaped Corrigin since 2011. The typical resident is now 47, making the area far older than both Western Australia and the rest of the country. This shift is most evident in the rising proportion of people aged 65 and over, who now make up over a quarter of the community.
