Croom Minnamurra

Minnamurra and Croom are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Minnamurra is a more developed hub where residents are far older, with a typical age of 50 compared to 38 in Croom. It has a more qualified and wealthier population, with 30.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher and 21.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Croom is much more car-dependent, with 100% of homes being separate houses and a far higher share of children under 15 (26.8% versus 16.0% in Minnamurra).

Typical weekly personal and family incomes are almost the same in both places, and they share similar rates of volunteers and people born overseas. While Minnamurra is somewhat walkable and has far better access to public transport and shops, Croom remains more sparsely populated. These two areas have tracked closely in their basic economic standing, even as Minnamurra continues to be far more connected to services than Croom.
