Braddon Franklin

Franklin and Braddon are two large areas in Tasmania with similar populations, but they differ significantly in education and income. Franklin is far more qualified, with 26.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 12.8% in Braddon. This educational gap is reflected in the usual weekly household income, which is well higher in Franklin at $1,536 than in Braddon at $1,194. Franklin also has much better public transport, with far more stops and weekly departures per 1,000 people.

Everyday life is similar in both places, as they share nearly identical rates of people living in de facto relationships, those who have no religion, and the proportion of homes owned outright. However, some differences are growing; the gap in typical household income and the number of university degrees has widened since 2011. While both areas have populations older than the national figure, residents in Braddon are noticeably older than those in Franklin.
