Glenorchy Huon Valley

Glenorchy and Huon Valley differ sharply in their layout and demographics. Glenorchy is a more urban environment where 24% of people arrived from overseas recently and 18.8% use a language other than English at home. It is a younger area, with a typical resident aged 37, and is more walkable (somewhat walkable) with a higher share of renters at 36%. In contrast, Huon Valley is more rural and car-dependent (mostly car-dependent), with a far older typical resident of 46. It has a higher rate of outright home ownership at 43.8% and a much lower share of recent overseas arrivals at 5.2%.

The gap in typical age has widened since 2011, growing from 3 years to 9 years. Despite this, the two areas are very similar in other ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes and the share of children under 15. They also share similar rates of people needing help with daily activities and those providing unpaid care. While Glenorchy has far more public transport options, both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who do not identify with any religion.
