Chittering Moora

Chittering and Moora are two rural Western Australian areas with very different social and economic profiles. Chittering has a much higher share of people born overseas (23.3%) and a far higher proportion of households earning $3,000 or more a week (26.0%). In contrast, Moora has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, at 12.8% compared to 2.7% in Chittering. These differences extend to the home, where typical monthly mortgage payments in Chittering are far higher at $2,100, while Moora's are $1,000.

Both areas share a typical resident age of 44 and almost identical rates of university qualifications and people working from home. Despite these commonalities, their layouts differ; Moora is far more walkable, with 57.6% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a center, compared to just 3.5% in Chittering. This gap in accessibility, along with the difference in housing costs and the share of people living alone, has generally widened since 2011.
