Brooklyn Emu Heights

Brooklyn (Tas.) and Emu Heights (Tas.) are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different local settings. Brooklyn (Tas.) is more walkable, with 54% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 28.2% near health services, while Emu Heights (Tas.) has no homes within that distance of either. Brooklyn (Tas.) also has a far higher proportion of older residents, with 19.3% aged 65 and over compared to just 6.0% in Emu Heights (Tas.). In contrast, Emu Heights (Tas.) has much higher rates of adults working or looking for work (65.5% versus 52.6%) and a far higher share of people earning a bachelor degree or higher (13.1% versus 9.7%).

Everyday life in both places is similar in many ways, with nearly identical typical weekly personal incomes of around $620 to $660 and about the same number of people per home. They also share a similar proportion of children under 15 and almost no residents who speak little or no English. While both areas have high rates of long-term health conditions compared to the national figure, the gap in public transport access is striking, with Emu Heights (Tas.) having far more stops and departures per 1,000 people.
