Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 3.3 km apart · Mowbray profile · Ravenswood profile

Mowbray Ravenswood

Mowbray and Ravenswood are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with distinct demographic profiles. Mowbray is much more multicultural, with 31.1% of people born overseas and 28.4% using another language at home, compared to 6.5% and 3.4% in Ravenswood. Mowbray also has a more qualified workforce, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (21.9% versus 5.5%). In contrast, Ravenswood has a higher proportion of one-parent families (36.6% compared to 22.6%) and more large homes, with 74.9% of houses having three or more bedrooms.

The gap in the number of people born overseas has widened since 2011, reflecting these diverging paths. Despite this, the two areas share similar levels of overall disadvantage and have nearly identical rates of full-time employment. They are also alike in their low share of high earners, with very few people in either area earning $2,000 or more a week. Both areas are significantly younger than the national figure, though the typical resident in Ravenswood is slightly older at 36 compared to 32 in Mowbray.
