Cambridge Rokeby

Cambridge and Rokeby are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different profiles. Cambridge is an older, wealthier area where the typical resident is 43 and typical weekly household income is $2,191. It has a higher share of university degrees (26.8%) and homes owned outright (40.7%). In contrast, Rokeby is much younger, with a typical age of 31 and a typical weekly household income of $1,321. It has a far higher proportion of renters (40%) and one-parent families (28.8%).

Since 2011, the gap between these two places has grown in several ways. The difference in typical age has widened to 12 years, and the income gap has increased to $870 per week. However, the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain similar in some ways, such as their drive time to the city, the share of full-time workers, and the percentage of people born overseas.
