Electrona Margate

Margate (Tas.) and Electrona are neighbouring areas with very different layouts and profiles. Margate (Tas.) is more walkable for daily needs, with 62% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 53.4% near health services, compared to almost no homes in Electrona for either. Margate (Tas.) also has a more highly qualified population, with 26.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, which is far higher than the 14.8% in Electrona. Additionally, 10.6% of Margate (Tas.) residents are recent arrivals from overseas, while Electrona has none.

The gap in accessibility is widening, as Margate (Tas.) has far more amenity types within a 15-minute walk and a much higher share of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed. Despite this, both areas are very similar in other ways; they share almost identical proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (about 7%) and the same share of people using another language at home (4.6%). They also have very similar typical weekly household incomes, both sitting just under $1,900.
