Norwood South Launceston

South Launceston and Norwood (Tas.) are neighbouring areas with very different housing and age profiles. Norwood (Tas.) is much older, with a typical resident aged 47 compared to 36 in South Launceston, and it has a far higher share of seniors at 30.9%. This is reflected in the homes; Norwood (Tas.) has far more separate houses and far more people who own their homes outright (42.2%). In contrast, South Launceston has a much higher rental rate of 43.6% and is more diverse, with a well higher share of people born overseas (18.7%) and those using another language at home (13.1%).

Both areas share very similar typical weekly household incomes, sitting around $1,400. They also have almost identical proportions of children under 15 and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While the gap in typical age has narrowed slightly since 2011, other differences have grown.
