7257, TAS 7264, TAS

Postcode 7264 and postcode 7257 are both sparsely populated areas of Tasmania. They differ most in their residents' backgrounds and transport. Postcode 7257 has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 62.5%, compared to 6.1% in postcode 7264. Reliance on cars is also much higher in postcode 7264, where 36.1% of homes have two vehicles, while 70% of homes in postcode 7257 have no motor vehicle. Other gaps are stark: postcode 7257 has far more people who identify as having no religion (68.8%) and a higher share of one-parent families (29.5%).

Everyday life in both places is very similar in some ways. Both areas consist entirely of separate houses and have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes, around $725 to $778. They also share similar unemployment rates and a lack of public transport for commuting. While some gaps have narrowed, such as the difference in home ownership, others have grown; the gap in the number of people without a car has widened since 2011.
