Orange Surrounds Wellington

Orange Surrounds and Wellington are two rural areas in New South Wales. Orange Surrounds has a higher proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (20.1% compared to 9.3%) and more households earning $3,000 or more a week (23.4% compared to 10.1%). In contrast, Wellington has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 23.3%, compared to 4.5% in Orange Surrounds. Wellington is also more walkable, as a majority of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, school or groceries, while Orange Surrounds is car-dependent.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share nearly identical rates of full-time employment and an almost equal proportion of detached houses. They also have similar levels of population growth and very few people using public transport to commute. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in typical monthly home loan payments has grown to $673, and the gap in university qualifications has increased since 2011.
