Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 4.0 km apart · Moonah profile · Hobart profile

Moonah Hobart

Hobart and Moonah are neighbouring areas with very different housing and education profiles. Hobart is a hub of high qualifications and renting, where 47.7% of adults have a bachelor degree or higher and 54.6% of homes are rented. In contrast, Moonah is dominated by owner-occupiers in separate houses, which make up 84.4% of dwellings compared to just 36.4% in Hobart. Moonah also has more families with children, with 15.3% of its population under 15 compared to 7.5% in Hobart.

These differences in education and schooling have become less extreme since 2011, as the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed by more than 11 points. Despite this, the two areas remain very similar in other ways, such as the share of people who use another language at home (about 24%) and the proportion of people working full-time. Both areas also share the same typical number of people per bedroom, and they experience almost identical minimum and maximum temperatures.
