Derwent Park Moonah

Moonah and Derwent Park are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different layouts. Moonah is a walker's paradise, where 96.4% of homes are within a 15 minute walk of groceries and health services. In contrast, Derwent Park is only somewhat walkable, with fewer than half of homes within easy reach of those amenities. Moonah also has a better-qualified workforce, with 32.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 22.9% in Derwent Park. Derwent Park has a more family-focused housing stock, with 75.7% of homes having three or more bedrooms, which is far higher than the 61.2% seen in Moonah.

These two areas share many core traits, including the same typical resident age of 35 and almost identical rates of overseas birth and renting. This common ground exists alongside a widening gap in health and education. Derwent Park has a much higher rate of long-term health conditions (36.7%) and a lower share of Year 12 completions (52.7%) than Moonah, where 60.4% of residents finished school.
