Kununurra Wijilawarrim

Kununurra and Wijilawarrim are nearby Western Australian areas with very different scales and profiles. Kununurra is a larger center where the typical weekly personal income is $1,153 and it is mostly car-dependent. In contrast, Wijilawarrim is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (85.7%) and children under 15 (47.6%). Kununurra also has a more diverse population, with far more people born overseas (14.7%) and a higher share of those using a language other than English at home (12.1%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, with high numbers of people moving into each area over the last five years. They share a very young overall profile compared to the national figure, and neither has any public transport stops or routes. While Kununurra has more amenities within walking distance, both are essentially car-dependent in their daily layout.
