Bega Valley Goulburn Mulwaree

Bega Valley and Goulburn Mulwaree are two regional areas in New South Wales with very different social profiles. Bega Valley is a much older community, where the typical resident is 52, compared to 41 in Goulburn Mulwaree. This older population is consistent with the fact that 29% of Bega Valley residents are seniors, well higher than the 20.8% in Goulburn Mulwaree. Bega Valley also has a far higher share of people who own their homes outright (49.0% compared to 35.3%) and a much higher proportion of people with no religion (47.5% versus 31.2%). In contrast, Goulburn Mulwaree has a far higher rate of recorded offences, with 9,069 per 100,000 people compared to 4,685 in Bega Valley.

The gap in typical age has widened since 2011, growing from 7 years to 11 years. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly rent of around $310 to $320 and the very small number of people who speak little or no English. They also share similar rates of people who need help with daily activities and a nearly identical share of residents who have served in the Defence Force.
