Postcode comparison ≈ 20 km apart · 7117, TAS profile · 7163, TAS profile

7117, TAS 7163, TAS

Postcode 7117 and postcode 7163 are two nearby Tasmanian areas with very different social and economic profiles. Postcode 7163 is more affluent and highly qualified, with 28.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 17.6% in postcode 7117. This professional lean is reflected in the workforce, with many more managers and professionals in postcode 7163, while postcode 7117 has a higher share of labourers and people working in agriculture. In contrast, postcode 7117 is more likely to have people living alone (33.9% versus 21.6%) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (12.8% versus 3.3%).

These differences have become more pronounced over time, as the gap in Year 12 completion has widened since 2011. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share some similarities, such as nearly identical unemployment rates and a very low percentage of people who speak little or no English. While postcode 7163 has much better access to public transport, postcode 7117 is more walkable for basic needs, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and health services.
