Wellington Wellington East

Wellington East and Wellington (SA) are two nearby rural areas with a few stark differences. Wellington East has a more mobile and wealthier population, with 47.6% of residents moving in the last five years and 14% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. Homes in Wellington East are also more likely to be large, as 87.6% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Wellington (SA) has a higher share of one-parent families (18.5%) and better access to transport, with 44% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.

Both areas are similar in that they have almost no one who speaks little or no English, and neither has a resident within a 15-minute walk of a school or grocery store. This shared lack of local services is common, yet both areas sit near the national figure for the share of children under 15, with Wellington East at 17.9%.
