Launceston Summerhill - Prospect

Launceston and Summerhill - Prospect are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Launceston is a walker's paradise with a highly educated population; 39% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and 65.5% finished Year 12. It is also more diverse, with 22.7% of people born overseas. In contrast, Summerhill - Prospect is more car-dependent and residential, with 77.5% of homes being separate houses and 71.7% having three or more bedrooms. Only 14.3% of adults there have a bachelor degree or higher, and 40.3% completed Year 12.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted in different ways, with the difference in university qualifications and the share of overseas-born residents both widening. However, the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed. Despite these trends, they remain similar in other ways, such as having almost the same share of people aged 65 and over (about 19%) and a nearly identical percentage of people who identify as having no religion.
