Burb Score · burbscore.com/suburb/pink-lake
Pink Lake is a small locality on the outskirts of Esperance named after what was once a vivid rose-coloured salt lake. The lake lost its famous hue years ago after a nearby road altered its water flow, a fact that catches many visitors off guard. Despite that, the area sits in one of WA's most spectacular coastal corners, with easy access to Cape Le Grand's white beaches and the broader Esperance region making it a worthwhile base for outdoor exploration. The median house price is $825k and rent of $550/week, 19% below the Perth metro median.
Safety is a strength: the crime score of 92/100 is 40 points above the metro average of 52, with low rates of both property crime and violent offences. Typical residents are around 43 years old, with a household income of $1,817/week.
