7179, TAS 7184, TAS

Postcode 7184 and postcode 7179 are two small, nearby areas in Tasmania with distinct profiles. Postcode 7179 generally has more resources, with a higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (49.7% compared to 34.1% in postcode 7184) and more people with bachelor degrees or higher (23.9% versus 14.1%). Postcode 7184 is more walkable for its residents, as nearly 24% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while no homes in postcode 7179 have that access.

Everyday life is similar in both areas, as both are car-dependent and have the same typical number of people per home. They also share similar rates of volunteering and a high percentage of people who do not have a religion. However, some gaps are growing; the difference in Year 12 completion and the number of people with university degrees have both widened since 2011.
