Mount Morgan Moura

Mount Morgan and Moura are two Queensland towns with very different profiles. Mount Morgan is much older, with a typical resident aged 53 and a high share of people aged 65 and over (29.3%). In contrast, Moura is far younger, where the typical resident is 33 and children under 15 make up 24.7% of the population. These differences extend to income and housing; typical weekly household income is far higher in Moura at $1,787 compared to $780 in Mount Morgan, and Moura has a much higher share of large homes with three or more bedrooms (86.6%).

Both towns are similar in that few people were born overseas or use a language other than English at home.

While Mount Morgan has a much higher share of homes owned outright, Moura has a far higher rate of renting and a higher number of people working full-time.
