Urban Centre comparison ≈ 100 km apart · Moura profile · Duaringa profile

Moura Duaringa

Moura and Duaringa (L) are two Queensland towns with very different profiles. Moura is a younger area with a typical resident aged 33, while people in Duaringa (L) are far older at 48. High-earning households are far more common in Moura, where 21.7% earn $3,000 or more a week compared to just 3.8% in Duaringa (L). This wealth is reflected in the housing; Moura has a far higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (86.6%) and typical weekly rents that are $105 higher than in Duaringa (L).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while closing the gap in others. The difference in typical age and the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents have both widened. At the same time, the gap in typical family income has narrowed. Despite these shifts, the two towns remain alike in several ways, such as having nearly the same share of people born overseas (around 6%) and similar proportions of people who do not identify with a religion.
