Dulcot Risdon

Dulcot and Risdon are neighbouring areas in Greater Hobart that differ sharply in wealth and education. Dulcot is a high-earning area where 41.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, and 26.4% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. This is reflected in the housing, where 100% of homes are separate houses and 91.2% have three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Risdon has a lower share of university degrees (17.9%) and high-income households (4.9%), while having a much higher proportion of people with long-term health conditions (41.1% compared to 27.3% in Dulcot).

Both areas have tracked similarly in some ways, with the typical resident in each place aged 42. They also share very similar rates of people born overseas and those who have served in the Defence Force. However, the two areas differ in their accessibility; Risdon has far more public transport stops and walkable amenities, while Dulcot remains more car-dependent. Since 2011, Dulcot has seen a far lower share of people moving into the area (23.5%) compared to Risdon (36.6%).
