Moil vs Nightcliff

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 3.6 km apart · Moil profile · Nightcliff profile

Moil Nightcliff

Nightcliff and Moil are neighbouring areas with very different housing and social profiles. Nightcliff has a much higher share of university graduates at 45.4% and a higher rate of people who finished Year 12, including First Nations residents. It is a transient hub where 56.7% of people moved in during the last five years, and over half the homes are flats or apartments. In contrast, Moil is dominated by separate houses, with 83.3% of homes having three or more bedrooms and a much higher proportion of families with children under 15.

The gap in educational attainment has widened since 2011, with Nightcliff seeing a significant increase in the share of residents with degrees. Despite this, the two areas share a very similar typical weekly income of around $2,000 and almost identical rates of people working from home. They also track closely in their monthly mortgage payments and the number of homes without a car.
