Bridport Pipers Brook

Bridport and Pipers Brook are two nearby Tasmanian areas with very different characters. Bridport is the larger of the two and serves as a local hub; over half of its homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools, and parks. It has a much older population, with 28.2% aged 65 and over, and many residents live alone (34.8%). In contrast, Pipers Brook is sparsely populated and more car-dependent, though it has a much higher share of people working from home at 26.1% and a typical weekly household income that is well higher at $1,708.

Everyday life shares some common ground in both places, as typical personal incomes and the share of adults with a bachelor degree are nearly the same. Both areas are equally far from the city, with drive times around 166 to 170 minutes. While Bridport has a mostly car-dependent walkability score of 3.3 and Pipers Brook is car-dependent at 0.2, the gaps in their public transport access have remained wide, with Pipers Brook continuing to have far more departures per 1,000 people.
