7212, TAS 7213, TAS

Postcode 7212 and postcode 7213 are two rural Tasmanian areas with notable differences in their social and physical landscapes. Postcode 7212 is more developed, with 56.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, while postcode 7213 has no homes within that distance. Postcode 7212 also has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (56.7% compared to 42.4% in postcode 7213) and a higher percentage of people who completed Year 12 (40.7% compared to 27.7%). In contrast, postcode 7213 is more sparsely populated and has a higher proportion of people living alone (38.2% versus 26.2%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally grown. The difference in Year 12 completion and the share of people living alone have both widened over the last decade. Despite these diverging trends, they share similar proportions of children under 15 and a nearly identical lack of people who speak little or no English. Both areas sit well above the national figure for people aged 65 and over, reflecting a common trend of older populations across this part of the state.
