Clarence Glamorgan-Spring Bay

Clarence and Glamorgan-Spring Bay are two distinct Tasmanian regions with very different demographic profiles. Clarence is more affluent, with 18.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week and 53.7% of residents completing Year 12. It is also a younger area, where 28.8% of people provide unpaid childcare. In contrast, Glamorgan-Spring Bay has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 57 and 34% of people aged 65 and over. Residents there are more likely to own their homes outright, with 52.8% of homes held this way, and the typical drive time to the city is far longer at 99 minutes.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for unemployment, with rates around 5%. This shared stability exists alongside widening gaps in other areas; for example, the difference in typical age has grown from 12 to 16 years since 2011. They also share similar proportions of First Nations people and overseas-born residents. However, Clarence is far more connected, with many more public transport stops and a much higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or grocery store.
