Lake Argyle Wyndham

Wyndham (WA) and Lake Argyle are both remote Western Australian areas with large First Nations populations. Wyndham (WA) is more developed, with a typical weekly rent of $150 and 93.9% of homes being separate houses. It is mostly car-dependent, though many residents can walk to parks, schools and groceries. Lake Argyle is more sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a far higher share of people speaking First Nations languages (39.6%) and another language at home (22.0%).

Both areas have similar numbers of volunteers and people per home, but the gap in how people work is widening. In Lake Argyle, working from home is far more common at 18.3%, while only 2.5% of people in Wyndham (WA) do so. This is consistent with the fact that people in Lake Argyle are far more likely to walk to work or work from home, whereas residents in Wyndham (WA) rely much more on cars.
