Moorina Morayfield

Morayfield and Moorina (Qld) are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Morayfield is a larger, younger hub where the typical resident is 34 and children under 15 make up 21.6% of the population. It has a more transient feel, with 49.3% of people moving there in the last five years and 43.9% of homes being rented. In contrast, Moorina (Qld) is a much smaller, older area where the typical resident is 48 and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $2,416, compared to $1,442 in Morayfield.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, though Morayfield remains more connected with more public transport and a mostly car-dependent walkability score, while Moorina (Qld) is strictly car-dependent. They share similar proportions of people in de facto relationships and a similar typical weekly rent of around $350. While Morayfield has many more one-parent families, both areas sit near the national figure for people born overseas.
