Geelong Newcomb - Moolap

Newcomb - Moolap and Geelong are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Geelong is a walker's paradise with a highly qualified workforce, where 32.6% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 61.5% finished Year 12. In contrast, Newcomb - Moolap is far more reliant on cars, with a typical resident who is older (45 years) and more likely to live in a separate house (86.4%). Economic gaps are also sharp, as the share of households earning $3,000 or more a week is far higher in Geelong at 20.2%, compared to just 9.0% in Newcomb - Moolap.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally grown. Differences in education, weekly income, and the number of people working or looking for work have all widened. Despite this, they share several similarities, such as having almost identical proportions of people providing unpaid care and nearly the same number of people per home. Both areas also have very similar levels of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, at around 1% to 2%.
