Wellington is a tiny city located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 528 people and just one neighborhood, Wellington is the 316th largest community in Kentucky.
Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Wellington is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Wellington is a city of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Wellington who work in management occupations (13.92%), office and administrative support jobs (12.09%), and sales jobs (10.99%).
Of important note, Wellington is also a city of artists. Wellington has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Wellington's character.
In addition, Wellington is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates," which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.
Wellington is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The city's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Wellington's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
One of the benefits of Wellington is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 19.10 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
Wellington is a very car-oriented city. 96.63% of residents commute to work in a private automobile rather than by other means, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking. This is because Wellington is a small city, and most people who live here have to drive out of town for work, and the town population is not large nor dense enough to support an extensive public transportation system. Wellington has a lot of rural roads, and houses can be far apart. Many residents drive out of town for regular shopping trips as well.
As is often the case in a small city, Wellington doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
Do you have a 4-year college degree or graduate degree? If so, you may feel right at home in Wellington. 48.71% of adults here have a 4-year degree or graduate degree, whereas the national average for all cities and towns is just 14.96%.
The per capita income in Wellington in 2000 was $26,235, which is wealthy relative to Kentucky and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $104,940 for a family of four.
The people who call Wellington home come from a variety of different races and ancestries. The most prevalent race in Wellington is White, followed by Asian. Important ancestries of people in Wellington include German, English, Irish, Scotch-Irish, Italian, French, and Scottish.
The most common language spoken in Wellington is English. Some people also speak Spanish.
