Morley Noranda

Morley and Noranda are neighbouring areas in Western Australia with very different housing and age profiles. Morley is more mobile and younger, with a typical resident aged 39 and 37.8% of people having moved there in the last five years. It is also more connected, with far more public transport routes (24 compared to 6 in Noranda) and more frequent departures. Noranda is older, with a typical age of 45 and a much larger share of seniors at 24.5%. This is reflected in housing; 46.4% of Noranda homes are owned outright, while Morley has a far higher share of renters at 28.0%.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, from the typical weekly household income of around $1,600 to a similar share of adults with a university degree. Both areas are also very diverse, with a high proportion of people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home. While Morley has more recent overseas arrivals, both areas sit well above the national figure for this measure.
