Moonee Beach Coramba

Moonee Beach and Coramba are two nearby areas with very different social and economic profiles. Moonee Beach is a more transient and affluent place, where 51.1% of people moved in within the last five years and 21.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Coramba is composed entirely of separate houses and has a higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 6.7%. Access to amenities also differs sharply; while Moonee Beach has far more homes within walking distance of health services and public transport, Coramba is far better for those walking to schools, parks and groceries.

Both areas share a typical resident age of 40 and almost identical rates of home ownership and household size. These steady patterns contrast with a widening gap in wealth and education; the difference in the share of households earning $3,000 or more a week has grown from 3.4% in 2011 to 17.1% today. Similarly, the gap in Year 12 completion has widened to 12.2%, with Moonee Beach remaining far higher.
