Mount Druitt Mulgoa

Mount Druitt and Mulgoa are two nearby areas with very different characters. Mount Druitt is a very walkable hub where 43.3% of people were born overseas and 46.1% use a language other than English at home. It has a higher share of renters (36.6%) and a more diverse range of housing. In contrast, Mulgoa is dominated by separate houses (94.4%) and has a wealthier profile, with a typical weekly household income of $2,336 compared to $1,801 in Mount Druitt.

The gap in housing types has widened since 2011, as Mulgoa has become much more heavily defined by detached homes.
