Detention Montumana

Montumana and Detention are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. They differ sharply in age and demographics; residents in Montumana are far older, with a typical age of 51 compared to just 24 in Detention. This age gap is reflected in the family structures, as 26.1% of Montumana's population is aged 65 or over, while Detention has no residents in that group. Detention is much more diverse, with 51.4% of people born overseas and 28.6% of the population being children under 15. Montumana has a higher typical weekly household income of $850, while Detention's is much lower at $131.

These two neighbours share almost no public transport stops and both have no homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, parks or shops. The gap in residency patterns is widening, as 45.2% of Montumana's residents moved there in the last five years, whereas no one in Detention has moved in that time. This trend is consistent with the different lifestyles in each area, from Montumana's higher share of people with no religion to Detention's very high rate of volunteers at 64.3%.
