Mueller Ranges Ord River

Mueller Ranges and Ord River are two sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Mueller Ranges has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 84.4% compared to 44.9% in Ord River. This is consistent with a higher share of people using another language at home (61.5% versus 38.0%) and a far higher unemployment rate (28.6% versus 4.2%). In contrast, Ord River has much higher typical incomes, with weekly personal earnings of $725 compared to $326 in Mueller Ranges, and a far higher share of homes owned outright (50.0% versus 9.4%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, and they share several characteristics today. They have almost identical proportions of children under 15 and people aged 65 and over. Everyday life in both places is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, parks, or schools. This lack of walkability is common to both, as neither area has any homes within walking distance of public transport.
