Marys Creek Nahrunda

Nahrunda and Marys Creek are two neighbouring rural areas with very different resident profiles. Nahrunda is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 53 and 22.9% of people aged 65 or over, compared to a typical age of 46 and just 9.3% of seniors in Marys Creek. Higher incomes are also found in Nahrunda, where the typical weekly household earns $1,468, while the figure in Marys Creek is $949. However, Marys Creek has a far higher share of university graduates (17.4% versus 7.3%) and more people working from home.

These differences in income and education are widening, as the gap for households earning $3,000 or more a week has grown significantly. Despite these divides, both areas are very similar in other ways; for example, both have typical home sizes of about 2.6 or 2.7 people and no residents who speak a language other than English. Both are also completely car-dependent, with no public transport stops or services within a 15-minute walk.
