Dodges Ferry - Lewisham Triabunna - Bicheno

Triabunna - Bicheno and Dodges Ferry - Lewisham are two different types of Tasmanian regions. Triabunna - Bicheno is much older, with a typical resident aged 57 and 34.1% of people aged 65 and over. It is also more welcoming to newcomers, with recent overseas arrivals at 18.9% compared to just 5.5% in Dodges Ferry - Lewisham. While Triabunna - Bicheno has more walkable access to groceries and health services, it is more isolated, with a 101-minute drive to the city. Dodges Ferry - Lewisham is younger and has a higher share of adults working or looking for work at 59.0%.

Both areas also have very few people who speak little or no English, and they track closely in terms of the number of people who have served in the Defence Force.
