Glebe Hobart

Hobart and Glebe (Tas.) are neighbouring areas with very different living patterns. Hobart is a highly diverse hub where 39.1% of people were born overseas and 31.0% use a language other than English at home. It is a renter's market, with 67.9% of homes rented and a high number of flats. In contrast, Glebe (Tas.) is more settled, with 59.0% of homes being separate houses and 31.3% owned outright. Glebe (Tas.) also has a more qualified workforce, with 53.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to 42.6% in Hobart.

These two areas share a similar profile of families and school advantage, and both are within a two-minute drive of the city. However, the gap in mobility is widening; Hobart has become a walker's paradise with a score of 9.6, while Glebe (Tas.) is very walkable at 6.9. This is seen in the transport data, as Hobart has far more public transport stops and 26.4% of homes have no car, compared to just 8.4% in Glebe (Tas.).
