Cooya Pooya vs Karratha Industrial Estate

Karratha Industrial Estate and Cooya Pooya are two nearby areas in Western Australia with very different levels of activity. Karratha Industrial Estate has a small population of 163 people, whereas Cooya Pooya is largely non-residential with no residents. Karratha Industrial Estate is much more developed, with four schools within 3 km and a far higher number of street intersections per square kilometre. It also has a far larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with seven residents.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with a walkability score showing they both rely on vehicles. This lack of accessibility is consistent across the board; in both places, no homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. While Karratha Industrial Estate has more parks and amenities nearby, the two areas remain almost identical in their lack of a walkable 15-minute city layout.
