Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 85 km apart · Inverell Surrounds - West profile · Moree profile

Inverell Surrounds - West Moree

Moree and Inverell Surrounds - West are two regional New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Moree has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 22.9%, and it is far more likely for residents to rent their homes, with 38.7% of households renting. In contrast, Inverell Surrounds - West is much older, with a typical resident aged 50 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (27.8%). This area also has a much higher rate of outright home ownership at 51.3%.

While these areas have tracked in different directions since 2011, they share similar unemployment rates and roughly the same number of businesses. The gap in home ownership has stayed steady, but the difference in typical age has widened, and the gap in rental rates has grown. Moree has also seen its share of recent overseas arrivals fall, which has narrowed the gap between the two places over the last decade.
