Dunn Rock Lake King

Lake King and Dunn Rock are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Lake King is the larger of the two, with a typical resident aged 44, while residents in Dunn Rock are far younger at 34. Households in Dunn Rock are much larger, with 4.5 people per home and 1.1 people per bedroom, compared to 2.5 people per home and 0.8 per bedroom in Lake King. Lake King also has more infrastructure, including one school and two public transport routes, whereas Dunn Rock has none.

Both areas are almost entirely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. This shared lack of nearby essential services is a defining feature of both places, as neither has a single home within a 15-minute-city walkshed. While Lake King has a few more amenities, such as parks and cultural sites, both areas remain very isolated from urban conveniences.
