Question 1

Is Denmark a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Denmark sits where the Denmark River meets Wilson Inlet, near William Bay National Park, with native forests and a compact centre of cafés and galleries.

Denmark is an older community with incomes below the Western Australian median and many households owning their homes outright; the town had 2,691 people at the 2021 Census. Local life centres on bushwalking, surfing and estuary boating, and the township supports independent shops and community facilities. The Ocean Beach redevelopment has reopened after a staged upgrade that rebuilt the seawall and refreshed the surf lifesaving clubhouse and amenities.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Denmark?

Accepted Answer

In Denmark, a typical local household earned about $975 a week at the most recent Census. With house rents around $700 a week, renting a house would take about 72% of that weekly household income.

That is a large share of income, so on the figures renting a house in Denmark would use a substantial portion of what a typical local household earned. Whether that feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
