Coral Bay Exmouth

Exmouth and Coral Bay are two different types of coastal settlements in Western Australia. Exmouth is a larger town where families are more common, with a higher share of children under 15 (18.3% compared to 10.6% in Coral Bay) and a typical weekly household income of $2,029. In contrast, Coral Bay is a smaller place where half of all people live alone. It has a much lower typical household income of $1,166, though First Nations households there earn far more, with a typical weekly income of $3,749 compared to $1,708 in Exmouth.

Both areas share a similar profile in terms of health and the proportion of First Nations people. This similarity extends to their daily infrastructure, as neither area has any public transport stops. However, they differ greatly in how people move around; most people in Exmouth use a car to get to work, while in Coral Bay, 44.5% of workers walk. This reflects the different housing styles, as Exmouth is mostly made up of separate houses, while Coral Bay consists largely of smaller dwellings.
