Gray Seymour

Gray and Seymour are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Gray is slightly larger with 71 people, while Seymour has 31.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining car-dependent with very few local amenities.

While Gray has more people working or looking for work at 38.9%, both locations are mostly residential with very few public transport options.
