Boat Harbour Moorleah

Boat Harbour (Tas.) and Moorleah are neighbouring rural areas with very different age profiles. Boat Harbour (Tas.) is much older, with a typical resident aged 51 and 23.6% of people aged 65 and over. In contrast, the typical resident in Moorleah is just 37, and children under 15 make up 23% of the population. Boat Harbour (Tas.) is also more qualified, with 21.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 8.7% in Moorleah. The two areas differ in their layout, as Boat Harbour (Tas.) has more public transport stops and a higher share of homes within walking distance of parks, schools and groceries.

While they differ in age, the two areas have tracked similarly in other ways, with typical weekly family incomes remaining almost the same at around $1,600 to $1,700. This shared economic level is consistent with both areas having 100% of their homes as separate houses.
