Geraldton vs Moora - Chittering

Geraldton and Moora - Chittering are two different types of Western Australian environments. Geraldton is a more urbanised hub where life is easier on foot; it is somewhat walkable and 80.4% of homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Moora - Chittering is car-dependent, with only 17.6% of homes near public transport and far fewer residents within a 15-minute walk of health services, schools, or groceries. Geraldton also has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, though First Nations unemployment there is well higher than in Moora - Chittering.

These two areas share a very similar typical personal income for First Nations people, around $470 to $485. While they have this common ground, the gap in how people get around is stark and has grown. Geraldton now has far more amenity types within a 15-minute walk, a gap that has increased by 2.1 compared to Moora - Chittering.
