Brighton also has much larger First Nations populations, with 2,204 people compared to 139 in Central Highlands (Tas.).

Both areas share very similar First Nations household incomes, which sit at $1,156 in Central Highlands (Tas.) and $1,242 in Brighton. They also have similar shares of people who speak a First Nations language. While Brighton has far more public transport and schools within walking distance, the two areas remain alike in these specific First Nations community figures.
