Bowral - Mittagong Mudgee

Bowral - Mittagong and Mudgee are two New South Wales regional centres with very different profiles. Bowral - Mittagong is a much older area, with a typical resident aged 47 compared to 37 in Mudgee. It also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 25% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, whereas Mudgee sits at 15.7%. This is consistent with a higher rate of professional work and a far larger share of people working from home in Bowral - Mittagong (22.1% compared to 6.8% in Mudgee).

These two areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting around $1,700. They are also alike in their shares of people living alone, those who have served in the Defence Force, and those with no religion. While they have much in common financially, they have drifted apart since 2011 in other ways. The gap in the age of residents has widened significantly, and the difference in home ownership has flipped, with homes now far more likely to be owned outright in Bowral - Mittagong.
