Margaret River (WA) and Gnarabup are neighbouring areas with a clear contrast in wealth and convenience. Gnarabup is wealthier, with 27.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 15.8% in Margaret River (WA). This gap is also seen in First Nations residents, who are far older in Gnarabup and have a typical personal income of $1,875, which is far higher than the $506 seen in Margaret River (WA).
