Durack Kununurra

Kununurra and Durack (WA) are two distinct Western Australian areas separated by about 163 km. Kununurra is a larger hub with a typical weekly household income of $2,091, whereas Durack (WA) is sparsely populated with a typical household income of $1,187. There are also significant cultural differences; for example, 47.9% of people in Durack (WA) are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, compared to 24.9% in Kununurra. Durack (WA) also has a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 56.5%, while Kununurra's share is 22.7%.

These two places share some commonalities, such as having the same typical age for First Nations residents at 25 years and a similar average of 2.7 people per home. However, the gap in their walkability is stark, as Kununurra is mostly car-dependent and Durack (WA) is simply car-dependent. This distance is mirrored in their infrastructure, with Kununurra's typical school size of 384 being far higher than the 48 students usually found in Durack (WA) schools.
