Marlow Lagoon Moulden

Moulden and Marlow Lagoon are neighbouring areas in Palmerston, but they differ sharply in wealth and housing. Marlow Lagoon is much more affluent, with a typical household income of $3,630 a week compared to $1,515 in Moulden. This gap is seen in the homes too; Marlow Lagoon is made up entirely of separate houses, while Moulden has a far higher share of renters (44.4%) and many more one-parent families (30.3%). Moulden also has a much larger First Nations population (24.1%), where unemployment is far higher than in Marlow Lagoon.

Both areas share a similar proportion of older residents and people born overseas, and they have nearly identical school advantage scores. However, the divide in household income and home ownership has remained stark, with Marlow Lagoon continuing to see far higher typical incomes and more homes owned outright. While Moulden provides much better access to public transport, with 100% of homes within a 10 minute walk of a stop, the economic gap between the two neighbours persists.
