Adventure Bay and South Bruny are two nearby Tasmanian areas with very different populations. Adventure Bay is much older, with 46.3% of residents aged 65 and over and a typical age of 64. This is consistent with a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (47.7%) compared to South Bruny (30.6%). In contrast, South Bruny has far more children under 15 (15.3% versus 3.7% in Adventure Bay) and a higher share of one-parent families.
