Merilup Neendaling

Neendaling and Merilup are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. There are stark differences in who lives here and how they live. Neendaling is much younger, with a typical resident aged 34, and households are larger with 3.3 people per home. In contrast, residents are far older in Merilup, where the typical age is 55 and homes usually hold only 1.8 people. Typical weekly family income is also well higher in Neendaling at $3,124, compared to $2,249 in Merilup.

Both areas are essentially car-dependent and lack nearby shops, schools, or public transport. This shared lack of infrastructure is consistent with the national figure for very remote areas. While they are similar in their isolation, some gaps are shifting; for example, there are now far more walkable amenities per 1,000 residents in Merilup than in Neendaling.
