Koolanooka Perenjori

Perenjori and Koolanooka are two small, rural Western Australian areas located about 30 km apart. Perenjori is a more established centre with a typical resident aged 42 and a population of 259. It has better access to services, with 72.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 66.8% near public transport. In contrast, Koolanooka is sparsely populated with just 22 people and is much younger; the typical resident is 33, and children under 15 make up 31.8% of the population, which is far higher than in Perenjori.

Daily life in both places is very similar in some ways, as neither has homes within a short walk of groceries or health services. Both areas are also mostly car-dependent, although Perenjori is slightly more walkable. While the two areas share a similar proportion of people with no religion, they differ in their backgrounds; people born overseas are well more common in Koolanooka at 18.2%, compared to 8.9% in Perenjori.
