East Arm Moulden

Moulden and East Arm are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Moulden is a residential area where children under 15 make up 25.5% of the population, while East Arm is sparsely populated and has no children. This age gap is reflected in the typical resident's age, who is 33 in Moulden and 45 in East Arm. Other sharp contrasts include rent, which is far higher in East Arm at a typical $635 per week compared to $295 in Moulden, and health, with 52.4% of East Arm residents reporting a long-term health condition compared to 24.1% in Moulden.

Both areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, around $1,500. They also experience nearly identical weather, with average maximum temperatures around 34 degrees.
