Miepoll Molka

Miepoll and Molka are neighbouring rural areas with very different profiles. Miepoll is a younger community where 23.3% of residents are children under 15, compared to none in Molka. It is also more likely to have families with children and people in de facto relationships. In contrast, Molka is far more highly qualified and wealthier; the typical weekly income there is $966, while in Miepoll it is $575. This is reflected in education levels, with 38.7% of Molka adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to just 7.1% in Miepoll.

Both areas share a car-dependent lifestyle and have a similar proportion of people aged 65 and over. Neither area has residents living within a 15-minute walk of a school, health service or grocery store. However, the two places are drifting apart in other ways, as the gap in typical weekly income has grown and Molka has seen a much higher share of people move in over the last five years.
