Moomin Watsonville

Moomin and Watsonville are two nearby, sparsely populated areas in Queensland. They differ most in their housing and social makeup; Moomin has far more homes with three or more bedrooms (79.4% compared to 42.1% in Watsonville) and a higher share of one-parent families (26.6% versus 9.4%). Moomin also has a much higher proportion of people with no religion (59.2% compared to 26.7% in Watsonville) and more people with long-term health conditions. In contrast, Watsonville has far more people living alone (50.9% versus 22.1% in Moomin) and a First Nations population that is far older, with a typical age of 51 compared to just 18 in Moomin.

These two areas have both tracked similarly since 2011, though the gap in how many people have moved into the area in the last five years is widening, with Moomin now far higher at 44.6% compared to 26.4% in Watsonville. They share several similarities, including nearly identical typical family incomes and the same proportion of people who finished Year 12. Both areas are very car-dependent, with no public transport departures and very few walkable amenities per 1,000 residents compared to the national figure.
