7026, TAS 7027, TAS

Postcode 7026 and postcode 7027 are two nearby Tasmanian areas with very different economic profiles. Postcode 7026 is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,560 and 37.3% of residents finishing Year 12. In contrast, postcode 7027 is more disadvantaged, where the typical weekly household income is much lower at $880 and only 26.1% finished Year 12. Postcode 7026 also has more families, with 29.6% of people providing unpaid childcare and 84.7% of homes having three or more bedrooms, while postcode 7027 has more people living alone at 34.6%.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the percentage of adults who are working or looking for work. Beyond that, they share similar rates of long-term health conditions and a complete absence of residents who speak little or no English. While they are both largely car-dependent, the gap between them has widened over time. This is seen in income, where the difference in typical household earnings has grown from $321 in 2011 to $680 today.
