Armidale Moonbi

Armidale and Moonbi (L) are two very different New England places. Armidale is a very walkable hub where 40.8% of homes are rented and 27.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It has a significant international presence, with 17.4% of people born overseas and 40% being recent arrivals. In contrast, Moonbi (L) is a mostly car-dependent area where everyone lives in a separate house. It is much more traditional, with only 5.3% born overseas and 7.3% of adults with a bachelor degree or higher.

While the gap in education levels has widened since 2011, these areas share several basic similarities. They have almost identical shares of people aged 65 and over and very similar typical personal incomes, both around $700 a week. They also track closely on the number of people per home and the share of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
