Belmont Newcomb - Moolap

Newcomb - Moolap and Belmont are neighbouring areas in Greater Geelong with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in age and education.

In contrast, Belmont is younger with a typical age of 37 and has far more residents with a bachelor's degree or higher (30.3% compared to 12.5% in Newcomb - Moolap).
