Moolap Newcomb

Newcomb and Moolap are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Newcomb is a walker's paradise, where nearly all homes are within a short walk of schools, groceries and health services. It is a younger area with a typical resident aged 40, and it has a high share of renters (41.4%) and recent overseas arrivals (17.5%). In contrast, Moolap is mostly car-dependent and has a much older population; the typical resident is 59, and 44.5% of people are seniors. Moolap is also more likely to have homes owned outright (41.8%).

These two areas have tracked in different directions over time, with the gap in the typical age of residents widening since 2011. Despite these shifts, they share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $630 to $672. They also both have about 19 public transport routes and sit at a similar distance from the city, with drive times of around 56 to 57 minutes.
