Bridgewater Honeywood

Bridgewater (Tas.) and Honeywood are neighbouring areas with very different social and economic profiles. Bridgewater (Tas.) has a far higher First Nations population at 17.2% and a much higher share of renters at 55.3%. It is also more accessible, with 89% of homes within a 10 minute walk of public transport. In contrast, Honeywood is much wealthier, where the typical weekly household income is $2,363 compared to $944 in Bridgewater (Tas.). Honeywood is almost entirely made up of separate houses, with 100% of homes being detached.

Both areas share similar levels of unpaid care and housework, and a nearly identical share of people with no religion at around 53%. However, the gap in employment is wide, as Honeywood has a far higher share of adults working or looking for work at 78%. While Bridgewater (Tas.) is somewhat walkable, Honeywood is car-dependent. This contrast is seen in the lack of public transport and shops within walking distance for Honeywood residents.
