Mandurah - East Murray

Murray and Mandurah - East are two distinct Western Australian areas with very different layouts. Murray is a sparsely populated region where 46% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, but it is remote, with a typical drive time to the city of 120 minutes. In contrast, Mandurah - East is more urban, with 70.4% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and much larger schools, though no homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services. Murray has a higher share of children under 15 at 20.7%, while Mandurah - East has a much higher proportion of seniors, with 27.7% aged 65 and over.

Since 2011, the two areas have seen some of their gaps narrow, such as the difference in typical age and the share of people earning $2,000 or more a week. They share several similarities, including almost identical rates of people who speak little or no English (0.3%) and very similar home sizes, with about 83% of dwellings having three or more bedrooms. While Mandurah - East has grown much faster since 2021, both areas maintain a similar level of home-loan payments and a similar proportion of people working from home.
