Purnululu Warmun

Warmun and Purnululu are two very different Western Australian areas. Warmun is home to 457 people, including 409 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, while Purnululu is sparsely populated with only 13 residents. There are stark gaps in wealth and age; the typical person in Purnululu is 36 and earns a typical weekly personal income of $1,624, whereas the typical resident in Warmun is far younger at 26 and earns $325. Warmun has more crowded living conditions, with 1.8 people per bedroom and a typical weekly rent of just $90, compared to Purnululu where the typical rent is far higher at $450.

Both areas share a total lack of public transport, with no stops or routes in either place.

These two areas have remained distinct in their profiles, with the gap in typical incomes remaining far higher in Purnululu.
