Blumont Golconda

Blumont and Golconda are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Blumont is a young place where 24.1% of people are children, while Golconda has no children and a much older population, with 36.4% aged 65 and over. There are also sharp contrasts in background and income; 27.6% of Blumont residents were born overseas, whereas no one in Golconda was. Typical weekly household income is far higher in Blumont at $1,624, compared to $866 in Golconda.

Both areas are car-dependent and have very similar typical ages, though the gap in the number of seniors is wide. This difference in age structure is consistent with other trends, as people needing help with daily activities and those with mental health conditions are far more common in Golconda. While Blumont has a far higher share of volunteers and people who served in the Defence Force, both areas sit well below the national figure for people using another language at home.
