Murdong Pinwernying

Pinwernying and Murdong are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Pinwernying is far older, with a typical resident aged 46 and nearly 30% of the population aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 33 in Murdong, where no residents are seniors. Pinwernying also has a much higher share of people with no religion (53.6%) and more people earning $2,000 or more per week (13.9%), while Murdong has no one in that high-income bracket. In contrast, Murdong is where more adults are working or looking for work (87.5%) and has a higher typical personal weekly income of $900.

Both areas share several traits, including a complete absence of people using a language other than English at home and no residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. They are also both very remote in terms of services; neither has any public transport stops or amenities within a 15-minute walk. This total lack of local infrastructure is a common thread for both places.
