Pannawonica and Point Samson are two distinct Western Australian hubs located about 143 km apart. Pannawonica is a young place where the typical resident is 30 and 33.7% of people are children under 15. It is largely a rental market, with 78.4% of homes rented and a very low typical weekly rent of $28. Point Samson is noticeably older, with a typical age of 45 and a higher share of retirees at 13.6%. Residents there are more likely to own their homes outright (20.4%) and pay a far higher typical weekly rent of $500.
