Broome - Surrounds
55,086 km²
Zero homes in this area are within a 15-minute walk of a school or grocery store, making Broome - Surrounds a completely car-dependent region. It is a vast, sparsely populated area covering over 55,000 square kilometres. While the region is largely non-residential, it contains a small First Nations community with a much older typical age than the rest of the state. This reflects a rural landscape where services are distant and the population is few.
