Wallacia Mulgoa

Wallacia and Mulgoa (L) are neighbouring areas in New South Wales with distinct housing and income profiles. Mulgoa (L) is much wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,476 compared to $1,848 in Wallacia. This is reflected in the homes; Mulgoa (L) is almost entirely made up of separate houses (98.8%), with 96.4% having three or more bedrooms. Wallacia has a more varied mix, with a far higher share of one-parent families (17.8% versus 6.3%) and more people living alone (27.3% versus 12.1%).

The gap in home sizes and ownership has widened since 2011, as Mulgoa (L) has become far more dominated by large, detached houses. Despite this, the two areas share a similar domestic life, with nearly identical rates of people in de facto relationships and those providing unpaid care. They also both have very low rates of public transport use for commuting, which is consistent with the national figure for similar areas.
