Exmouth Ningaloo

Exmouth and Ningaloo are two very different Western Australian areas located about 96 km apart. Exmouth is a residential hub with a population of 2,806 people, while Ningaloo is sparsely populated with only 7 residents. There is a stark contrast in wealth, as the typical weekly household income in Exmouth is far higher at $2,029, compared to just $874 in Ningaloo. Exmouth is also a younger place, with a typical resident aged 36, whereas those in Ningaloo are noticeably older at 41.

While the gap in household income is huge, the difference in typical personal weekly income is much smaller, with Exmouth at $967 and Ningaloo at $900. This shared similarity stands out against other differences, such as the fact that Exmouth has far more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Both areas are similarly remote in terms of transport, as neither has any public transport routes or stops.
