Mudgee Wellington

Mudgee and Wellington are two New South Wales towns with very different social and economic profiles. Wellington has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 23.3%, while Mudgee is 7.1%. Mudgee is generally wealthier and more mobile, with a typical household income of $1,742 a week compared to $1,153 in Wellington, and 47.2% of residents moving there in the last five years. Education also differs; 43.7% of Mudgee residents finished Year 12, compared to 31.0% in Wellington.

Everyday life shares many commonalities, as both areas have similar rates of people born overseas, volunteers, and those needing daily help. Both towns also have roughly the same number of people per home. However, some gaps are widening; since 2011, the difference in typical household incomes has grown and Mudgee has seen a far higher increase in people who identify as having no religion.
