Wellington Yeoval

Wellington and Yeoval (L) are nearby New South Wales areas with very different profiles. Wellington is larger and more diverse, with a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (27.4%) and recent overseas arrivals (29.8%). It also has a higher proportion of one-parent families (29.3%) and children under 15 (20.4%). In contrast, Yeoval (L) is a sparsely populated area where residents are far older, with a typical age of 53 compared to 41 in Wellington. This older age profile is reflected in Yeoval (L) having a far higher share of people with long-term health conditions (45.2%).

The gap in the typical age of residents has widened since 2011, growing from a 1-year difference to 12 years. Despite this, the two areas share similar typical weekly incomes, around $550 to $580, and almost identical rates of adults working or looking for work. While both are quite walkable, Wellington has much better access to public transport and health services, whereas Yeoval (L) has a higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries.
