Burb Score · burbscore.com/suburb/withers
Withers is Bunbury's most affordable suburb but carries a longstanding reputation as one of the region's toughest areas. A Domino's delivery ban to protect drivers made headlines, and online discussions have circled around safety for years. For renters on a tight budget it remains accessible, but expectations around neighbourhood amenity and personal security should be set accordingly. Median property values reach $562k and rent of $570/week, 45% below the Perth metro median.
The 11/100 safety score falls 41 points short of the metro average of 52. Demographically, the median age sits at 39 and household income at $983/week.
