South Launceston Summerhill - Prospect

Summerhill - Prospect and South Launceston are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with similar population sizes, but they offer very different lifestyles. South Launceston is much more walkable, with 99% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, compared to 54.4% in Summerhill - Prospect. This convenience is paired with a more qualified workforce; 26.9% of South Launceston residents hold a bachelor degree or higher, which is far higher than the 14.3% in Summerhill - Prospect. In contrast, Summerhill - Prospect has a more residential feel, with far more homes featuring three or more bedrooms (71.7%) and a higher share of people caring for children unpaid (29%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some ways while closing the gap in others. The difference in university qualifications and the share of renters has widened, but the gap in Year 12 completion has narrowed. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in their typical weekly household income, which sits around $1,300 for both. They also share a similar rate of full-time employment and nearly identical commute times to the city.
