Barnes Bay Lower Snug

Lower Snug and Barnes Bay are neighbouring areas in Tasmania that differ sharply in age and income. Lower Snug is a family-oriented area where 17.8% of people are children and typical weekly household income is $2,009. In contrast, Barnes Bay is sparsely populated and much older, with 75% of residents aged 65 or over and a typical weekly household income of $1,062. This age gap is reflected in health and care needs, as people in Barnes Bay are far more likely to have a long-term health condition (78.6% compared to 30.4% in Lower Snug) and a higher share require help with daily activities.
