Moruya Mogo

Moruya and Mogo (L) are two nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Mogo (L) is sparsely populated and has a much higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (27.3% compared to 8.2% in Moruya). It is also more walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services (89.8% vs 54.1%) and groceries (92.1% vs 68.3%). In contrast, Moruya is larger and has a noticeably older population, with a typical age of 49 compared to 45 in Mogo (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have tracked in opposite directions across several measures. The gap in the share of people with no religion has flipped, and the typical age gap has also shifted. Despite these changes, they remain alike in other ways. Both have similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,020, and both have about 16% of their population under age 15, which is slightly above the national figure.
