Kentish Latrobe

Latrobe (Tas.) and Kentish are nearby areas with very different levels of accessibility. Latrobe (Tas.) is somewhat walkable, with 52% of homes within a 15-minute walk of various amenities, while Kentish is car-dependent and only 28.6% of homes share that convenience. Latrobe (Tas.) has far better transport links, with 72.5% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to just 24.2% in Kentish. Latrobe (Tas.) also has a larger presence of seniors, with 27.2% of its people aged 65 and over, which is well higher than the 22.2% found in Kentish.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, as they have the same typical resident age of 49 and very similar typical household incomes. They are also alike in the share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. Over time, some gaps have grown; more people have moved into Latrobe (Tas.) in the last five years than into Kentish, and the difference in the number of renters between the two has widened since 2011.
