Paraburdoo Pannawonica

Paraburdoo and Pannawonica (L) are two remote Western Australian towns with distinct housing and family profiles. Pannawonica (L) is much younger and more family-oriented, with 33.7% of people under 15 and nearly half of adults (49.6%) providing unpaid childcare. In contrast, Paraburdoo has a higher share of people living alone (29.3%) and significantly more large homes, with 89.1% having three or more bedrooms. Paraburdoo also sees more high-earning households, where 48.8% earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 33.3% in Pannawonica (L).

Since 2011, the two towns have drifted apart in several key ways, though they remain similar in their low unemployment rates and high levels of full-time work. The gap in children and childcare has widened, and the difference in housing types has grown significantly. While both are far above the national figure for renting, Paraburdoo's rental rate is slightly higher at 86.4% compared to 78.4% in Pannawonica (L). Pannawonica (L) is also more walkable, with 100% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.
