Sturt Creek Tanami

Tanami (WA) and Sturt Creek are both sparsely populated areas in Western Australia. Tanami (WA) has a far higher proportion of people speaking a First Nations language (94.9%) and a typical weekly household income that is far higher at $1,212, compared to $702 in Sturt Creek. In contrast, Sturt Creek is more accessible for pedestrians; it is described as somewhat walkable, while Tanami (WA) is car-dependent. This is reflected in the fact that 100% of Sturt Creek homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services and groceries, compared to just 8.9% of homes in Tanami (WA).

Both areas are very similar in that they have a high First Nations population, with Tanami (WA) at 88.5% and Sturt Creek at 89.1%. They also share a lack of public transport and very similar rates of volunteering. While the two areas are alike in these respects, the gap in their walkability and the typical income of their households has remained distinct.
