Boomer Bay Dunalley

Dunalley and Boomer Bay are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with very different levels of convenience. Dunalley is a somewhat walkable hub where 73.6% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 91.8% are near a park. In contrast, Boomer Bay is car-dependent and lacks these local amenities. The two areas also differ in age and family life; residents are far older in Boomer Bay, where the typical age is 55, while Dunalley is younger with a typical age of 46 and a far higher share of people caring for children unpaid (31.6% compared to 17.6%).

Daily life is similar in both places, as they share almost identical rates of volunteering, typical weekly incomes, and a high proportion of detached houses. They also have the same average school advantage score and typical monthly mortgage payments. However, Boomer Bay has a much higher share of people working from home (22.2% versus 9.2%) and a higher typical personal income of $657 per week compared to $616 in Dunalley.
