Christmas Hills West Coast

Christmas Hills (Tas.) and West Coast are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Christmas Hills (Tas.) is the smaller of the two in terms of age, with a typical resident aged 37 compared to 48 in West Coast. There is a significant gap in earnings; the typical weekly household income in Christmas Hills (Tas.) is $1,687, which is far higher than the $450 seen in West Coast. Christmas Hills (Tas.) also has more people living in each home, with 2.6 people per dwelling compared to just 1.4 in West Coast.

Everyday life in both places is car-dependent, as neither area has any homes within walking distance of groceries, health services, or public transport. Both areas are almost entirely without walkable amenities and have very similar terrain slopes. While West Coast has more schools within 3 km, the two areas share a similar lack of local infrastructure that makes a car necessary for most tasks.
