Durack vs Prince Regent River

Durack (WA) and Prince Regent River are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Durack (WA) is larger, with 169 people and a typical age of 32, which is noticeably younger than the national figure. Prince Regent River is much smaller, with only 4 people, and residents there are far older with a typical age of 50. Durack (WA) also has more infrastructure, including 4 schools within 3 km, and a much larger population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, totaling 81.

Both areas share a lack of public transport and street connectivity, which means they are both very car-dependent. While Prince Regent River has a higher number of walkable amenities per person, these are exclusively parks, whereas Durack (WA) has a mix of parks, groceries, and schools. This lack of transport and urban layout is a common feature for both locations across the region.
