Manjimup Palgarup

Manjimup and Palgarup are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different characters. Manjimup is a larger, somewhat walkable hub where 34.0% of households rent and 35.0% of residents live alone. In contrast, Palgarup is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a far older typical resident (51 years compared to 42 in Manjimup) and a much higher share of homes owned outright at 45.6%. This difference in age is also seen among First Nations residents, who are far older in Palgarup, with a typical age of 31 compared to 20 in Manjimup.

Both areas are very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,200. They also share a similar proportion of people aged 65 and over, at about 21%, and have nearly identical shares of First Nations residents. While Manjimup has far more people moving in recently and more access to shops and health services within a 15-minute walk, both areas remain consistently situated within the same regional context.
