Lithgow - Mudgee Orange

Orange and Lithgow - Mudgee are two regional New South Wales areas with distinct profiles. Orange is more accessible, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks, and health services. It is also a younger area, where 21.3% of people are children under 15. In contrast, Lithgow - Mudgee is older, with a typical resident aged 44 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (22.6%). Education and income also differ; 47.2% of Orange residents completed Year 12 compared to 37.2% in Lithgow - Mudgee, and the typical weekly household income in Orange is well higher at $1,665.

These gaps have generally widened since 2011, particularly for household incomes and university degrees. However, the two areas remain similar in other ways, such as their First Nations populations and the share of people born overseas. Both areas also have a similar number of people who speak little or no English, and they share nearly identical rates of people providing unpaid care.
