Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 16 km apart · Moormbool West profile · Puckapunyal profile

Moormbool West Puckapunyal

Puckapunyal and Moormbool West are two very different nearby areas. Puckapunyal is a young, active hub where 65.5% of people have served in the Defence Force and the typical resident is just 24. This is reflected in the homes, which are usually large and rented, with a typical weekly household income of $2,510. In contrast, Moormbool West is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 53 and 14% of residents aged 65 or over. It has a lower typical household income of $1,166, and 44.2% of people live with a long-term health condition.

These two places are moving further apart as the gap in their populations and demographics widens. Both remain quite car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. They also share a similar proportion of people providing unpaid care. However, while Puckapunyal is much more likely to have residents who have moved in the last five years, Moormbool West has a higher share of people living alone.
