Launceston Trevallyn

Launceston and Trevallyn are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Launceston is a high-density hub where a walker's paradise walkability score of 8.8 means almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and schools. It is also a more transient area, with 48.3% of people moving in during the last five years and a higher share of renters at 43.7%. In contrast, Trevallyn is dominated by separate houses, which make up 91.2% of homes, and more families, with 18.4% of the population being children under 15.

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, including typical weekly household incomes that sit around $1,600 and very similar proportions of volunteers and people needing daily help. However, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in housing has grown, with Trevallyn becoming even more dominated by detached homes. Similarly, the gap in educational attainment has increased, with Launceston now seeing a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher than Trevallyn.
