Devon Hills Perth

Perth (Tas.) and Devon Hills are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Perth (Tas.) is a somewhat walkable place where the typical resident is 39 and 26.3% of people live alone. In contrast, Devon Hills is car-dependent and much older, with a typical age of 51. Wealth and housing also differ sharply; 26.7% of Devon Hills households earn $3,000 or more a week compared to 11.3% in Perth (Tas.), and 59.6% of homes in Devon Hills are owned outright, far higher than the 33.4% in Perth (Tas.).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people born overseas. They also share similar levels of unemployment and typical personal incomes. Despite these commonalities, the two areas have drifted apart in other ways. Perth (Tas.) has seen far more people move in over the last five years, and it remains much more likely to have homes within a short walk of schools, parks and groceries.
