Myrup Wittenoom Hills

Myrup and Wittenoom Hills are nearby areas in Western Australia, though they differ in scale and wealth. Myrup is home to 518 people and is much older, with a typical resident aged 52. In contrast, Wittenoom Hills is sparsely populated with only 16 people and is notably wealthier; the typical weekly household income there is $3,250, which is far higher than the $1,899 found in Myrup. This gap is also seen in personal incomes and home-loan payments, which are far higher in Wittenoom Hills.

Everyday life in both places is car-dependent, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or public transport. They also share the same typical number of people per bedroom. While Myrup has more schools and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, both areas remain very isolated from basic amenities.
