Mossiface Swan Reach

Swan Reach (Vic.) and Mossiface are neighbouring areas in East Gippsland with very different levels of accessibility. Swan Reach (Vic.) has more local amenities, with 59.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 40.0% near a school, while Mossiface has none for either. Mossiface is more car-dependent, with every single home being a separate house and a typical weekly household income that is well higher at $1,449, compared to $1,074 in Swan Reach (Vic.).

Both areas are very similar in their proportion of First Nations residents and the typical cost of monthly home loans. They also share a common reliance on cars, as no one in either area commutes to work using public transport. However, they are drifting apart in other ways; for instance, the gap in the number of people who have moved in the last five years has widened, with 39.1% in Swan Reach (Vic.) compared to just 15.0% in Mossiface.
