Wellington Point Cleveland

Cleveland and Wellington Point are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Cleveland is an older community where the typical resident is 51 and 30.4% of people are seniors. This is consistent with a higher number of people living alone (31.0%) and more residents needing help with daily activities. In contrast, Wellington Point is younger and wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,173 compared to $1,430 in Cleveland. Homes in Wellington Point are also much more likely to be separate houses (88.6%) and have four or more bedrooms (49.5%).

Everyday life in both places shares several similarities, including a nearly identical share of First Nations people and similar monthly mortgage payments of around $2,000. However, the gaps between the two areas are often growing. Since 2011, the difference in typical age has widened, and the income gap has increased. While Cleveland has far more public transport departures and more homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, Wellington Point has a higher share of adults working or looking for work.
