Nulsen Windabout

Nulsen and Windabout are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different profiles. Nulsen is a younger area where the typical resident is 36 and a far higher share of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (14.0% compared to 2.4% in Windabout). Income is also much lower in Nulsen, where the typical household earns $977 a week, while the typical household in Windabout earns $2,305. Nulsen has a far higher proportion of one-parent families (33.7%) and people living alone (33.3%), whereas Windabout has far more homes owned outright (50.0%) and a far higher share of volunteers (29.1%).

Everyday life shares some similarities, as both areas have no residents who speak little or no English and almost no one commutes by public transport. However, they differ in how they get around; Nulsen has many more public transport stops and homes without a motor vehicle, while Windabout is almost entirely made up of detached houses with many more vehicles per home.
