Postcode comparison ≈ 15 km apart · 7026, TAS profile · 7171, TAS profile

7026, TAS 7171, TAS

Postcode 7171 and postcode 7026 are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different layouts. Postcode 7171 is more connected and accessible, with 72.2% of homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport and street connectivity far higher than in postcode 7026. Education levels also differ, with Year 12 completion far higher in postcode 7171 at 47.4% compared to 37.3% in postcode 7026. Postcode 7026 is more rural in feel, with a larger share of homes owning three or more vehicles and more people owning their homes outright.

These two areas have drifted apart in several ways since 2011. The gap in Year 12 completion and the number of people born overseas have both widened, and the difference in rental rates has grown significantly. Despite these shifts, they share many core similarities, such as a typical resident age of 39 and almost identical typical weekly household incomes, which sit around $1,500.
