Campbell Town Ross

Campbell Town and Ross (Tas.) are nearby Tasmanian areas with some distinct differences in their social makeup and services. Campbell Town has a much larger First Nations population (6.7% compared to 1.2%) and more children, but it also has a higher number of people needing help with daily activities (11.3%) and those with mental health conditions (11.6%). In contrast, Ross (Tas.) has a notably older population, with a typical resident aged 56 and 35.9% of people aged 65 and over. While Campbell Town provides better local access to schools and health services, Ross (Tas.) sees far more people employed full-time (62.7% versus 50.0%).

These two areas are effectively alike in many ways, such as their typical weekly household incomes, the proportion of adults with degrees, and a shared drive time to the city of 82 minutes. This strong similarity extends to their housing, where both have nearly identical typical rents and home loan payments. While Ross (Tas.) currently has more public transport stops and departures, Campbell Town residents are closer to the stops that do exist, with a typical walk of 21 minutes compared to 75 minutes in Ross (Tas.).
