Bunbury Nannup

Bunbury and Nannup are two distinct Western Australian areas with very different lifestyles. Bunbury is a larger hub with more renters (34.1%) and a higher share of one-parent families (19.4%). Nannup is much older, with a typical resident aged 56 compared to 43 in Bunbury, and a far higher proportion of people aged 65 and over (33.7%). Home ownership also differs greatly; 50.3% of Nannup residents own their homes outright, while only 30.6% do in Bunbury.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the typical monthly home-loan payment, which is around $1,400. While they share similar unemployment rates and health profiles, they offer different levels of accessibility. Bunbury is very walkable, with most homes within a short walk of parks, schools and public transport. In contrast, Nannup is car-dependent, though it has a much higher rate of volunteers (28.6%) and more people working from home (15.6%).
