Legana Westbury

Legana and Westbury are nearby Tasmanian areas with similar population sizes, but they differ significantly in their layout and wealth. Legana is more connected and affluent, with 82.7% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a far higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (17.0% compared to 10.1% in Westbury). This advantage is also seen among First Nations residents, where typical household income is $2,272 in Legana, far higher than the $1,174 seen in Westbury.

Since 2011, the gap between the two has widened in several areas, such as the typical age and the share of people who finished Year 12. Despite these diverging trends, the areas remain almost identical in their housing styles, as both are dominated by separate houses. They also share very similar rates of people needing help with daily activities and those who have served in the Defence Force.
