Dodges Ferry Seven Mile Beach

Dodges Ferry and Seven Mile Beach are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with distinct economic profiles. Seven Mile Beach is much wealthier, with a typical household income of $2,125 a week compared to $1,412 in Dodges Ferry. This gap is reflected in education and housing; 58.7% of Seven Mile Beach residents completed Year 12, which is far higher than the 45.1% in Dodges Ferry, and homes there are more likely to have three or more bedrooms. Seven Mile Beach also has far more high-income earners, with 28.9% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, while only 10.4% do so in Dodges Ferry.

Everyday life in both places is very similar, as both consist entirely of separate houses and have nearly identical shares of children under 15. They also share similar rates of overseas arrivals and a common lack of First Nations languages spoken at home. While Seven Mile Beach has far more public transport departures and walkable amenities, Dodges Ferry is the only one of the two where a significant share of homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school.
