Mittagong has a much more qualified workforce, with 25.7% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 11.0% in Bargo. It is also a more transient place, where 48.4% of people moved there in the last five years, far higher than the 27.4% in Bargo. In contrast, Bargo has a larger First Nations population, with 5.5% compared to 2.4% in Mittagong, and a higher share of residents who speak a First Nations language.
