Postcode comparison ≈ 46 km apart · 7468, TAS profile · 7470, TAS profile

7468, TAS 7470, TAS

Postcode 7470 and postcode 7468 are both sparsely populated areas of Tasmania. Postcode 7470 has a far older population, with a typical resident aged 48 compared to 40 in postcode 7468. This older age profile is consistent with a much higher share of people with long-term health conditions (37.9% versus 26.7%) and a far higher rate of outright home ownership (47.2% versus 35.2%). In contrast, postcode 7468 is far more welcoming to new migrants, with recent overseas arrivals making up 26.8% of the population, while postcode 7470 has none.

The two areas have diverged since 2011, with gaps in unemployment and the number of adults working or looking for work widening significantly. However, they remain similar in other ways, such as having an identical 8.0% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population and almost the same share of people who identify as having no religion. Both areas also have a similar number of people per home, typically around two.
