Lake Muir Perup

Perup and Lake Muir are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Perup is a small community of 161 people, while Lake Muir is largely non-residential with only 7 residents. There are stark differences in wealth and age; the typical weekly household income in Perup is $1,968, which is far higher than the $1,124 seen in Lake Muir. This is reflected in home-loan payments, which are far higher in Perup at $1,867 compared to just $300 in Lake Muir. Residents are also far older in Lake Muir, where the typical age is 67, compared to 51 in Perup.

Daily life is similar in both places, as both are completely car-dependent with no homes within walking distance of parks, schools, or groceries. This shared isolation is seen in their walkability scores, which are the same for both. However, some gaps are wide, such as the number of public transport stops and routes, which are far higher in Lake Muir.
