There are 139 First Nations people here, though they face severe hardship with an unemployment rate of 60%, which is far above the national figure of 12.3%. This is reflected in typical personal incomes of just $238, far below the Australian average of $540. While 14.4% speak a First Nations language, Year 12 completion is much lower than most areas at 14.1%.
Walking is difficult in Mungullah, with a walkability score of 1.8 that is far below the Western Australian average. While every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park, no one can walk to groceries, schools, or health services. This makes the area heavily car-dependent compared to the rest of the state.
