7177, TAS 7178, TAS

Postcode 7177 and postcode 7178 are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Postcode 7177 is more connected, with a walkability score of 3.4 (mostly car-dependent) and many residents living within 15 minutes of schools and groceries. In contrast, postcode 7178 is car-dependent, with a score of 0.8 and no homes within walking distance of schools or shops. There are also notable economic gaps; typical weekly household income is far higher in postcode 7177 ($1,267) than in postcode 7178 ($766).

Since 2011, the two areas have diverged in several key ways. The gap in typical income has widened significantly, and residents in postcode 7178 have become far older than those in postcode 7177. Despite these shifts, they share some similarities, such as having the same typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,083 and similar rates of people working from home. Both areas also sit well below the national figure for typical weekly incomes.
