Keinbah

14 km²

Tucked away from urban centres with no nearby shops or schools, Keinbah is a tiny, car-dependent rural area. It is a family-oriented community where children under 15 make up nearly a quarter of the population, well above the national figure. While most residents are Australian-born, there is a strong First Nations presence. This is a place of large, owner-occupied homes and a quiet pace of life, though residents face significant challenges with long-term health conditions.
