Wansbrough

361 km²

A tiny, car-dependent settlement in the Broomehill-Tambellup region, Wansbrough consists of just 60 people. It is a notably young community where the typical resident is 34, making it noticeably younger than the national figure. The area is defined by large, detached homes and a high proportion of couples with children. With very few people living alone and a strong presence of families, it feels like a quiet, residential pocket of the WA countryside.

Despite high local incomes, the area's schools serve a less advantaged intake.
