Gawler West Ulverstone

West Ulverstone and Gawler (Tas.) are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different living patterns. West Ulverstone is a more developed hub where it is somewhat walkable, with 92.5% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and 27.9% of residents aged 65 and over. In contrast, Gawler (Tas.) is car-dependent and more affluent; the typical weekly household income there is $1,756, which is far higher than the $1,059 seen in West Ulverstone.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people with a mental health condition, around 11%. They also share similar levels of First Nations populations and typical monthly mortgage payments. While they track together on these points, the gaps in other areas are stark, such as the 20 point difference in the share of adults working or looking for work, which is far higher in Gawler (Tas.).
