Clarence Tasman

Clarence and Tasman are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Clarence is a larger hub with higher incomes, where the typical household earns $1,602 a week compared to $863 in Tasman. It is also a more diverse and younger place; 16.4% of residents arrived recently from overseas, and the typical person is 41. In contrast, Tasman is far older, with a typical age of 57 and a much higher share of retirees, as 32.6% of people are aged 65 and over.

Daily life in both areas is similar in some ways, such as a shared history of Defence Force service and almost identical population growth since 2021. However, many gaps between them are widening. Since 2011, the age gap has grown to 16 years, and the difference in typical household income has increased to $739. While Clarence has far more public transport and larger schools, Tasman has a much higher rate of outright home ownership at 56.6%.
