Dangar Island Mooney Mooney

Mooney Mooney and Dangar Island are both sparsely populated areas in New South Wales. Dangar Island has a much more highly qualified population, with 53.2% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 28.1% in Mooney Mooney. Dangar Island also has far more people born overseas (34.8% compared to 18.3%) and more who identify as having no religion (66.5% versus 45.1%). In contrast, Mooney Mooney has a far higher share of larger homes with three or more bedrooms (77.8% versus 65.4%) and a higher proportion of households that rent (25.0% compared to 14.7%).

These two neighbours share very similar typical weekly incomes and almost identical shares of children under 15. They both have older populations than the national figure, though the age gap between them has narrowed since 2011. In recent years, several differences have widened; Dangar Island has seen a significant increase in the share of people who volunteer, work from home, and own their homes outright. While Mooney Mooney is mostly car-dependent, Dangar Island is somewhat walkable, with many more residents living within a 15-minute walk of groceries.
