Postcode comparison ≈ 57 km apart · 7026, TAS profile · 7209, TAS profile

7026, TAS 7209, TAS

Postcode 7209 and postcode 7026 are both rural Tasmanian areas, but they have very different profiles. Postcode 7209 is much older, with a typical resident aged 57 and 35.5% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, the typical resident in postcode 7026 is just 39. This age gap helps explain why postcode 7026 has many more children under 15 (19.2%) and a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (29.6% compared to 12.5% in postcode 7209). Incomes also differ sharply; the typical weekly household income in postcode 7026 is $1,560, which is far higher than the $903 seen in postcode 7209.

These gaps have been widening since 2011, particularly the difference in typical age, which grew from 6 to 18 years. Despite these diverging trends, some parts of life remain similar. Both areas have almost identical unemployment rates around 4% and very similar shares of people with no religion. They also both lack local public transport and have no homes within a 15-minute walk of health services.
