Hobart Tasman

Hobart and Tasman are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Hobart is a more diverse and highly educated hub, where 49% of adults hold a bachelor degree and 28.6% were born overseas. It has a much higher typical household income of $1,842 per week. In contrast, Tasman is a much older area where the typical resident is 57, compared to 37 in Hobart. Tasman also has a higher proportion of people aged 65 and over (32.6%) and more homes owned outright (56.6%).

Since 2011, the gaps between the two areas have generally widened. The difference in typical age has grown from 13 to 20 years, and the gap in typical household income has increased to $979. While they have drifted apart in these ways, they still share a few similarities, such as having the same unemployment rate of 7.0% and nearly identical terrain slopes.
