Dorset Glamorgan-Spring Bay

Dorset and Glamorgan-Spring Bay are two rural Tasmanian areas with distinct profiles. Glamorgan-Spring Bay is far older, with a typical resident aged 57 compared to 48 in Dorset. It also has a higher share of people born overseas (14.7% versus 8.9%) and more residents with a bachelor degree or higher (16.5% versus 10.3%). In contrast, Dorset has a much larger number of school enrolments (859 versus 372) and a well higher share of children under 15 (16.2% versus 9.9%).

Both areas sit around the national figure for the proportion of people providing unpaid care. They also share very similar typical weekly household incomes of around $1,000.
