Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 103 km apart · Mardie profile · Peedamulla profile

Mardie Peedamulla

Mardie and Peedamulla are two remote Western Australian areas with very different profiles. Residents in Mardie are far older, with a typical age of 39 compared to 30 in Peedamulla. Income is also much higher in Mardie, where the typical personal weekly income is $2,548, while it is just $350 in Peedamulla. This gap extends to the rental market, with typical weekly rent in Mardie at $595 and just $53 in Peedamulla.

Daily life in both places is defined by a complete lack of local services. There are no schools, public transport stops, or shops within walking distance, and both areas are entirely car-dependent. These shared challenges exist across the 103 km that separate them, though the gap in incomes and ages has remained significant.
