Fentonbury Tyenna

Fentonbury and Tyenna (Tas.) are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Fentonbury is more diverse and younger, with 10.2% of residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 17.0% of the population being children under 15. In contrast, Tyenna (Tas.) has no children under 15 and a much older population, with a typical resident aged 60. Other notable gaps include religion and education; 63.6% of people in Fentonbury report no religion, and 16.7% hold a bachelor degree or higher, while Tyenna (Tas.) has no residents with a university degree.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent and share a very similar typical weekly personal income of around $470. This lack of local infrastructure is consistent across the pair, as neither has any public transport stops. However, their recent patterns differ, as 53.8% of Fentonbury residents moved there in the last five years, compared to just 17.2% in Tyenna (Tas.).
