Kentish Waratah-Wynyard

Waratah-Wynyard and Kentish are two Tasmanian areas with very different levels of accessibility and wealth. Waratah-Wynyard is more walkable, with a score of 4.1 (somewhat walkable) compared to 1.9 (car-dependent) in Kentish. This is reflected in the services available; for example, 57.8% of Waratah-Wynyard homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while only 24.2% of Kentish homes are. Renting is also far more common in Waratah-Wynyard at 24.1%, whereas it is just 12.4% in Kentish.

Beyond these differences, the two areas share very similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $605 and almost identical shares of adults with a bachelor degree. They also have nearly the same proportion of people who speak little or no English. While they share these economic foundations, the gap in rental rates has widened since 2011, and there are now more one-parent families in Waratah-Wynyard than in Kentish.
