Menzies Ngaanyatjarraku

Ngaanyatjarraku and Menzies are two remote areas of Western Australia with very different social profiles. Ngaanyatjarraku has a much larger First Nations population at 84.5%, compared to 21.2% in Menzies. It is also a much younger place, where 21.2% of people are children under 15, while Menzies has only 5.5% in that age group. These differences extend to income and language, with typical weekly personal income far higher in Menzies ($1,722) than in Ngaanyatjarraku ($369), and a much higher share of people using a language other than English at home in Ngaanyatjarraku (82.0%).

Since 2011, the gaps between the two areas have generally widened, particularly regarding income, rental rates, and the proportion of First Nations residents. Despite these diverging trends, both areas share a very low ranking for overall advantage and access to resources. They are also alike in their total lack of walkable amenities, with 0.0% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, groceries, or public transport.
