Murdunna has a much higher share of one-parent families (19.5% compared to 7.0%) and a far greater proportion of homes owned outright at 58.2%. It is also much more remote, with a drive time to the city of 156 minutes and a 67-minute walk to the nearest stop, while Boomer Bay is closer to the city and has a 14-minute walk to transport.
