Invermay West Launceston

West Launceston and Invermay are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. West Launceston has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 42, compared to just 33 in Invermay. The two areas differ sharply on housing and wealth; West Launceston has far more homes owned outright (36.3% versus 23.5%) and typical First Nations personal incomes that are far higher (+$340 gap). In contrast, Invermay is a walker's paradise with a walkability score of 8.0, while West Launceston is only somewhat walkable at 4.6.

Since 2011, the gap in age between the two has widened, while the difference in the share of recent overseas arrivals has narrowed.

Both areas also have nearly all of their homes within a 15-minute walk of a park.
