Congo Moruya

Moruya and Congo are neighbouring New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Moruya is a larger hub where 28.6% of people are aged 65 and over, far higher than in Congo (18.6%). It is also much more walkable and connected, with a score of 4.0 (mostly car-dependent) and many homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Congo is more car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.8. It has a more highly qualified workforce, with 26.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 13.5% in Moruya.

These two areas share similar family sizes and levels of outright home ownership. However, the gap in their educational levels is widening, with Congo's share of Year 12 graduates now 15 points higher than Moruya's. This trend is consistent with other differences, such as Congo's higher proportion of professional workers and the fact that 20.6% of its households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to just 10.0% in Moruya.
