Warburton Papulankutja

Warburton (L) (WA) and Papulankutja (L) are two small, remote areas in Western Australia. Warburton (L) (WA) has a significantly larger workforce in full-time roles (79.3% compared to 29.4% in Papulankutja (L)) and higher typical weekly household incomes, at $1,581 versus $875. In contrast, Papulankutja (L) has a higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (30.3% compared to 19.2% in Warburton (L) (WA)) and more recent overseas arrivals, at 41.2% compared to 16.8%.

Both areas are very similar in their Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, which make up around 84% of the people in each place. This common thread exists alongside shifts in their differences; for instance, the gap in full-time employment has grown since 2011, and the typical age has diverged, with residents now noticeably older in Warburton (L) (WA). Both areas also see very high rental rates, though this is even more common in Papulankutja (L) at 97.3%.
