Napier Porongurup

Porongurup and Napier are two sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Porongurup is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 51 and a larger share of people aged 65 and over (26.0%). It also has a more qualified workforce, with 23.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Napier has a much higher share of children under 15 (21.6%) and more large homes, with 79.2% having three or more bedrooms. Napier also has a higher typical weekly family income of $2,150, while Porongurup's is $1,575.

Both areas are similar in that they consist entirely of separate houses and have almost no public transport. This shared car-dependency is reflected in their 15-minute walksheds, as both sit near the national figure for having no walkable amenities. Other commonalities include similar rates of people living alone and a nearly identical share of one-parent families.
