Burb Score · burbscore.com/suburb/wiluna
Wiluna sits at the edge of the Western Australian outback, 950km northeast of Perth, where the Canning Stock Route begins. It carries the hallmarks of remote WA: a tight-knit community grappling with real challenges including alcohol-related violence and basic cost-of-living pressures that dwarf those in the city. The local economy turns on nearby gold and iron ore mining, and the town has drawn attention for renewable energy investment in the region. It is a place for the self-sufficient, not the comfort-seeking. At $200k, the local housing market is 80% below the Perth metro median.
The area's 5/100 safety rating is 47 points below the metro average of 52. It has 1 school with a combined rating of 2/100, below the Perth average.
The suburb's median age of 35 and household income of $1,089/week sit near the broader average.
