Barmah Lower Moira

Barmah and Lower Moira are two sparsely populated areas in Victoria with very different social make-ups. Barmah is more established and family-oriented, with 10.9% of people being children under 15 and 11.9% in de facto relationships. In contrast, Lower Moira has a more mobile and qualified population; 53.3% of residents moved there in the last five years, and 16.7% hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 5.3% in Barmah. This difference extends to income, where the typical weekly personal income in Lower Moira is $758, far higher than $448 in Barmah.

Both areas share a similar domestic scale, with the typical home in each place housing 2.0 people. They are also alike in their lack of local services, as no homes in either area are within a 15-minute walk of a school, health service, or grocery store. While Barmah is more connected to public transport, both areas remain largely car-dependent in their daily lives.
