Emu Flat vs Kookynie

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 130 km apart · Emu Flat profile · Kookynie profile

Emu Flat Kookynie

Kookynie and Emu Flat (WA) are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. The biggest difference is in income, where the typical weekly personal income in Kookynie is $1,971, far higher than the $1,125 seen in Emu Flat (WA). Kookynie also has a larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with five compared to none in Emu Flat (WA).

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, as no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or grocery store. This lack of walkability is shared across the 130 km that separate them, though the landscape differs as the terrain slope is well higher in Emu Flat (WA) at 8.4% compared to 3.0% in Kookynie.
