Bergalia Moruya

Moruya and Bergalia are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different layouts and lifestyles. Moruya is a more connected hub where 43.7% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed and 30.2% of people live alone. In contrast, Bergalia is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, park, or shop. There are also notable educational and health gaps: Bergalia has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (23.9% compared to 13.5% in Moruya), while Moruya has a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (37.6% compared to 27.2% in Bergalia).

These differences in living patterns are mirrored by a widening gap in housing. While both areas have a high share of homes owned outright, Moruya has a far higher rental rate at 21.6%, whereas Bergalia has no renters at all. They do share some similarities, such as having almost identical proportions of children under 15 and a similar number of three-bedroom homes. Both areas also have a population that is older than the national figure.
