Greens Beach Kelso

Greens Beach and Kelso (Tas.) are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with small populations. Greens Beach has a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher at 19.5%, compared to 5.8% in Kelso (Tas.). This is consistent with more professionals working in Greens Beach and a far higher share of people working from home there (23.9% versus 11.1%). In contrast, Kelso (Tas.) has a far higher share of people with a long-term health condition (52.7% versus 39.3%) and more people needing help with daily activities.

Their shared lifestyle is evident in the same typical weekly household income of around $1,000 and the fact that no one in either area uses public transport to get to work. However, the gap in educational attainment has widened since 2011. While both areas have an older population compared to the national figure, Greens Beach has a slightly higher share of people aged 65 and over at 47.4%.
