Coolagolite Murrah

Coolagolite and Murrah are two nearby rural areas with very different demographics. Coolagolite has a much younger feel, with 16.8% of its residents being children under 15, compared to just 3.7% in Murrah. This difference is mirrored in their First Nations populations; the typical First Nations resident in Coolagolite is only 11, while in Murrah they are far older at 64. Murrah is more likely to have residents born overseas (25.6% versus 11.3% in Coolagolite) and a higher share of people who own their homes outright at 90.3%.

Both areas are car-dependent and have no residents who use public transport to commute. This shared reliance on cars is a core commonality, though Coolagolite has more public transport stops and departures. Other similarities include the same percentage of one-parent families (15.1%) and the fact that every single home in both areas is a separate house.
