The First Nations community here is small, with only 83 people, and is noticeably older than the state and national figures with a typical age of 29. This group sees much lower unemployment at 7.7% compared to the state's 15.9%, and personal incomes are a little above the Western Australian average.
Daily life is mostly car-dependent, as the walkability score of 2.5 is far below the state average. Public transport is entirely absent within a 10-minute walk of any home, and access to schools, parks, and health services is much lower than in other Western Australian areas.
