Electrona Howden

Howden and Electrona are neighbouring areas in Tasmania that differ sharply in age and wealth. Residents in Howden are far older, with a typical age of 44 compared to 34 in Electrona. Howden has a much more qualified and higher earning population, where 38.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 34.3% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, those figures are 14.8% and 18.5% in Electrona. Howden also has far more homes owned outright, at 45.8% compared to 23.7% in Electrona.

Everyday life in both places is similar in other ways, as they share almost identical typical weekly rents and the same small share of people who speak a language other than English at home.

Electrona is much better connected for public transport, with 89.2% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop, while only 38.9% of Howden homes have that access.
