Brighton Glamorgan-Spring Bay

Brighton and Glamorgan-Spring Bay are two very different Tasmanian regions. Brighton is a much younger area where the typical resident is 35, and 22.7% of people are children under 15. In contrast, Glamorgan-Spring Bay is far older, with a typical age of 57 and 34% of residents aged 65 and over. This age gap is reflected in the homes; Brighton has a higher share of renters at 32.6% and more one-parent families, while 52.8% of homes in Glamorgan-Spring Bay are owned outright.

Both areas are effectively alike in the share of people earning $2,000 or more a week and the rate of First Nations unemployment. Despite this, their social profiles are drifting apart. The gap in the number of children and the age of residents has widened since 2011. While Brighton is more connected with far more public transport departures, Glamorgan-Spring Bay has seen its share of volunteers remain much higher than in Brighton.
