Warmun Wyndham

Wyndham (WA) and Warmun are two distinct remote areas in Western Australia. Warmun has a much stronger First Nations presence, with 89.5% of residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander compared to 56.6% in Wyndham (WA). This is reflected in language use, as 69.9% of people in Warmun speak a First Nations language, while only 11.3% do in Wyndham (WA). The two areas also differ in age and income; residents are far older in Wyndham (WA) with a typical age of 36, compared to 26 in Warmun. Typical personal weekly income is also far higher in Wyndham (WA) at $586, while it is $325 in Warmun.

Both areas are similar in the number of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, which is around 5%.
