Dolphin Sands vs Freycinet

Dolphin Sands and Freycinet are two small Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Dolphin Sands has a population of 182, while Freycinet is largely non-residential with no recorded population. There is a massive gap in wealth; typical weekly household income in Freycinet is $7,000, which is far higher than the $822 found in Dolphin Sands. Residents in Dolphin Sands are also far older, with a typical age of 64 compared to 54 in Freycinet.

Both areas are similar in their layout, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or health services. This shared lack of local services is reflected in the way people live in their homes, with Dolphin Sands having about the same number of people per bedroom as the national figure. While Freycinet is more walkable and has more public transport, both areas remain mostly car-dependent and are located far from the city.
