Curtin Moore

Curtin and Moore are two nearby Western Australian areas with different housing and lifestyle profiles. Curtin is a highly walkable hub where 87.8% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, and 47.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Moore is dominated by larger homes, with separate houses making up 87.4% of dwellings and 92.4% of homes having three or more bedrooms. Curtin also sees more movement, with 44.6% of residents moving in the last five years compared to 32.8% in Moore.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including the typical weekly household income, which sits around $2,200 to $2,300. They also have nearly identical proportions of people aged 65 and over and those who do not identify with a religion. While the two areas remain distinct, some gaps have shifted since 2011; for example, the difference in the share of people living alone has widened significantly as Curtin has become far higher than Moore.
