Moe Narracan

Moe and Narracan are nearby Victorian areas with very different scales and layouts. Moe is a larger hub where 33.9% of homes are rented and 13.4% of households have no motor vehicle. In contrast, Narracan is a sparsely populated area where every home is a separate house and 50.0% are owned outright. The two areas also differ in wealth and education; a far higher share of Narracan households earn $3,000 or more a week (18.4% compared to 7.1% in Moe), and more residents in Narracan finished Year 12.

Both areas have a similar proportion of children under 15. However, the gap in housing costs is widening, with typical monthly mortgage payments in Narracan now $975 higher than those in Moe. This is consistent with the difference in their layouts: Moe is very walkable with many residents living within a 15-minute walk of public transport and parks, while Narracan is car-dependent.
