Cocos (Keeling) Islands
14 km²
One of the smallest populations in the region makes the Cocos (Keeling) Islands a unique and sparsely populated territory. The community is spread across a small land area where most people live in a car-dependent environment. While it lacks basic health services, the local layout allows many residents to easily access food and schools on foot. It remains a distinct outpost with a very small residential footprint.
