Coorow Moora

Moora and Coorow are two rural Western Australian areas that differ significantly in their age and family structures. Coorow is far older, with a typical resident aged 57 and 33.1% of people aged 65 and over, compared to a typical age of 44 and 20.3% of seniors in Moora. Moora has a much larger presence of children and First Nations people, with 19.2% of its population under 15 and 12.8% identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. This younger profile in Moora is reflected in its larger schools and the fact that 61.1% of adults are working or looking for work, while only 49.3% do so in Coorow.

Both areas are almost identical in their proportion of people born overseas, which sits at around 11%. They also share similar typical weekly rents of about $210 to $225 and a similar number of public transport stops. However, some gaps are growing; the age difference between the two has widened since 2011, as has the gap in the number of adults working or looking for work. Coorow also has a far higher share of homes owned outright at 53.3%, compared to 41.3% in Moora.
