7112, TAS 7155, TAS

Postcode 7112 and postcode 7155 are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different social and transport profiles. Postcode 7112 has a far higher share of one-parent families at 19.4% and a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (13.7%) than postcode 7155 (4.2%). While postcode 7112 has more homes within walking distance of schools, health services, and groceries, it is far more isolated, with a 58-minute drive to the city and a typical walk to public transport taking 59 minutes. In contrast, postcode 7155 is better connected by transit, with far more public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people.

These two areas have drifted further apart in several ways since 2011. The gap in typical weekly family income has widened to $521, with postcode 7155 being well higher, and the difference in one-parent families has grown. However, the gap in education has narrowed, as more adults in postcode 7112 have completed Year 12 or a degree. Both areas share similar home sizes and a similar proportion of people who provide unpaid care, and both have typical resident ages that are far older than the national figure.
