Mudgee Kandos

Mudgee and Kandos are nearby towns in New South Wales with very different profiles. Mudgee is a younger and more affluent hub where the typical resident is 36 and the usual weekly household income is $1,681. In contrast, Kandos is much older, with a typical age of 54 and a typical weekly household income of $664. These differences extend to education and employment; 43.3% of Mudgee residents finished Year 12 compared to 26.5% in Kandos, while 62.0% of adults in Mudgee are working or looking for work, far higher than the 32.4% in Kandos.

Both areas are effectively alike in the languages spoken at home and the share of people who provide unpaid care. However, many other gaps have widened since 2011. The age gap has grown as Kandos became far older, and the difference in income has increased significantly. While Mudgee has seen more recent arrivals from overseas and more people moving in, Kandos has a much higher share of people living alone (51.1%) and homes owned outright (48.3%).
