Clifton Beach Oakdowns

Oakdowns and Clifton Beach (Tas.) are two nearby areas with very different characters. Oakdowns is a younger, more transient place where the typical resident is 33 and nearly half of the population moved there in the last five years. It is much more connected, with most homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, and health services. In contrast, Clifton Beach (Tas.) is older, with a typical age of 42, and is more affluent; 32.2% of households earn $3,000 or more a week, compared to 13.2% in Oakdowns. Residents here are also more likely to have a university degree (40.0%) and own their homes outright (40.7%).

Both areas are almost identical in their proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, at around 4%. This shared trait exists alongside a widening gap in how people get around. Oakdowns is somewhat walkable with high levels of public transport and frequent departures, while Clifton Beach (Tas.) is car-dependent. This contrast is reinforced by the housing; homes in Clifton Beach (Tas.) are more likely to be large, with 85.9% having three or more bedrooms.
