Mullalyup Southampton

Mullalyup and Southampton (WA) are two sparsely populated rural areas in Western Australia. They differ most in their housing and demographics; Mullalyup has a higher share of homes owned outright (53.3%) and more large houses with three or more bedrooms (76.7%). In contrast, Southampton (WA) has a much older population, with 39.3% aged 65 and over, and a higher proportion of university graduates (21.6%) compared to Mullalyup (7.7%). Southampton (WA) also sees far more people working from home (41.3%) and volunteering (32.4%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining small, car-dependent communities where almost no one uses public transport to commute.

While Mullalyup has more public transport stops and parks within walking distance, both areas sit well below the national figure for 15-minute city access.
