Camballin Fitzroy Crossing

Fitzroy Crossing and Camballin are both remote Western Australian areas with high First Nations populations. Fitzroy Crossing is more urbanised and accessible, with a walkability score of 5.2 (somewhat walkable) and a high proportion of residents who speak a First Nations language (69.3%). In contrast, Camballin is far more spread out and car-dependent, with a much higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (83.4%) and more homes with three or more bedrooms (82.7%).

Everyday life in both places is similar in that around 81% of households are renting and very few people live within walking distance of public transport. However, the two areas are moving in different directions; Fitzroy Crossing has seen a much higher influx of people moving in over the last five years (40.6%), while Camballin's population has remained more stable. This is consistent with Fitzroy Crossing having a higher share of adults working or looking for work (47.1%) compared to Camballin (27.9%).
