Nabawa Nanson

Nabawa and Nanson are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Western Australia. They differ most in their age and household structures; Nanson has a much higher share of people aged 65 and over at 26.2%, while Nabawa has far more people in de facto relationships (27.7%) and people living alone (30.6%). Employment patterns also vary, with full-time work far more common in Nanson (93.5%) and working from home more frequent in Nabawa (17.2%).

Everyday life is similar in both places, as no one uses public transport to commute and every home has at least one motor vehicle. They also share very similar home sizes and monthly loan payments. While Nabawa has more people who have moved recently and a higher share of volunteers, the two areas have remained effectively alike in their lack of nearby groceries or health services.
