In contrast, Barnes Bay is sparsely populated and overwhelmingly older, with 75.0% of its residents aged 65 and over. This age gap is reflected in health and income; Barnes Bay has a much higher rate of long-term health conditions at 78.6%, while South Arm (Tas.) has a far higher typical weekly family income of $1,822 compared to $1,125 in Barnes Bay.

These areas are drifting apart in terms of how they connect to the world. South Arm (Tas.) is more accessible, with far more public transport stops and a typical resident who is mostly car-dependent. Barnes Bay is even more isolated, described as car-dependent, and has a much longer drive time to the city at 72 minutes.
