Grasstree Hill Otago

Otago and Grasstree Hill are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different financial and social profiles. Otago is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $1,937 compared to $1,125 in Grasstree Hill. This is reflected in the pay gap, as 13.6% of Otago residents earn $2,000 or more a week, while only 3.4% of people in Grasstree Hill do. Otago also has a more qualified workforce, with 23.1% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, well higher than the 13.8% in Grasstree Hill.

Both areas are similarly remote, taking about 16 minutes to drive to the city and having no homes without a motor vehicle. While they share these similarities, the gap in public transport access is stark; 79.7% of Otago homes are within a 10-minute walk of a stop, compared to just 6.6% in Grasstree Hill. This difference in connectivity is far higher in Otago and stands in contrast to the national figure, as both areas remain largely car-dependent.
