Barretta Coningham

Coningham and Barretta are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different characters. Coningham is a family-oriented place where 22% of people are children and homes are typically large, with 84.8% having three or more bedrooms. It has a more affluent profile, with a typical weekly household income of $1,875 and 41.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Barretta is sparsely populated and has a much older population, with a typical resident aged 56 and 27% of people aged 65 and over. Barretta's homes are smaller and more often owned outright, and the typical weekly household income is much lower at $1,050.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, with Barretta seeing a much larger increase in people moving in over the last five years. Despite this, they share some common ground, such as having almost no one living in a home without a motor vehicle. Both areas are also car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or health services. They are similarly aligned in their views on religion, with about 55% of residents in both places reporting no religion.
