Wellington Cumnock

Wellington and Cumnock (L) are two nearby areas in New South Wales with very different characters. Wellington is a very walkable town where 29.8% of residents are recent overseas arrivals and 27.4% identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. In contrast, Cumnock (L) is mostly car-dependent and sparsely populated, with no recent overseas arrivals. Cumnock (L) has a much older population, with a typical age of 51 compared to 41 in Wellington. Housing also differs sharply; 55.2% of Cumnock (L) homes are owned outright, while 33.4% of Wellington homes are rented.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly household income, around $1,060 to $1,092. They also have almost the same proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher, at about 9%. Over time, some of the gaps between them have widened, such as the difference in typical age and the share of people who identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. Other trends show the two areas moving closer together, with the gap in the share of one-parent families narrowing since 2011.
