Kelso Mitchell

Kelso and Mitchell are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Kelso is a larger residential area where houses are typically separate dwellings with three or more bedrooms, and families are common; 22.4% of people are children under 15. In contrast, Mitchell has a much smaller population and is dominated by renters, with 78.7% of households renting and 63.8% of people living alone. Income is also significantly different, with the typical weekly household income in Kelso being $1,737, far higher than the $779 seen in Mitchell.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, as they have the same number of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents and very few people use public transport to commute. They also have similar proportions of recent overseas arrivals. However, the gap in housing and wealth is stark, with Kelso having far more homes owned outright and typical incomes that are much higher than those in Mitchell.
