Badger Head Kelso

Kelso (Tas.) and Badger Head are neighbouring areas in Tasmania that differ mainly by age and family structure. Kelso (Tas.) is far older, with a typical resident aged 62 and 40.1% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, Badger Head is younger and more family-focused, with 16.1% of its population being children under 15 compared to just 5.5% in Kelso (Tas.). These differences extend to the home, where 60.9% of Kelso (Tas.) residents own their home outright, while Badger Head has a much higher share of people working or looking for work at 54.5%.

Everyday life is very similar in both places, as both are exclusively made up of separate houses and have no one using public transport to commute. They also share a similar typical weekly household income of around $1,000. While they are alike in these respects, some gaps are shifting. For example, Badger Head has a far higher share of volunteers at 27.3% compared to 14.6% in Kelso (Tas.), and it is much more likely that residents in Badger Head live within a 15-minute walk of a park.
