Broulee Moruya

Moruya and Broulee are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with distinct profiles. Broulee has a more highly qualified population, with 27.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 13.5% in Moruya. This higher education level is consistent with a typical weekly personal income that is well higher in Broulee ($751) than in Moruya ($592). While Moruya has far more separate houses (89.0%) and is the only one where residents can walk to groceries, Broulee is more walkable for health services and public transport.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who have no religion, with Moruya at 39.9% and Broulee at 48.2%. They are also very similar in their housing layouts, with about the same number of people per home and a similar share of three-bedroom houses. Most residents in both areas rely on cars, as both have walkability scores that are mostly car-dependent. These commonalities exist alongside differences in education and income that have remained significant between the two neighbours.
