Pemberton vs Denmark

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 66 km apart · Pemberton profile · Denmark profile

Pemberton Denmark

Denmark and Pemberton are two rural Western Australian areas with different social profiles. Denmark has a higher share of people with no religion (59.3%) and more adults with bachelor degrees (23.5%). It also has a younger First Nations population, where 51.3% have finished Year 12. In contrast, Pemberton is more reliant on agriculture, forestry and fishing for work, and has a much older First Nations population with a typical age of 37.

Everyday life is similar in both places, with typical weekly household incomes sitting around $1,100 to $1,130 and about 28% of residents aged 65 or over. While they share these commonalities, some gaps are widening; for example, the difference in Year 12 completion has grown to 11 percentage points. Both areas are far older than the national figure, though Pemberton's residents are now noticeably older than those in Denmark.
