Meryla vs Moollattoo

Meryla and Moollattoo are both sparsely populated, largely non-residential areas. Meryla has a tiny population of 9 people and one school within 3 km, while Moollattoo is essentially uninhabited with no schools. The terrain is much steeper in Moollattoo, where the average slope is 36%, compared to 12.6% in Meryla. It also takes much longer to drive from Meryla to the city, with a trip taking 197 minutes compared to 117 minutes from Moollattoo.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, parks, or public transport. This lack of local services is a common trait for both, as they each have zero public transport stops and routes. These gaps in infrastructure have remained the same since the last census.
