Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 13 km apart · Hastings profile · Recherche profile

Hastings Recherche

Hastings (Tas.) and Recherche are both sparsely populated areas in the Huon Valley. There are sharp differences in their First Nations populations; Hastings (Tas.) has 10 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents, while Recherche has none. Where First Nations people are present in Recherche, they are far older, with a typical age of 63 compared to 35 in Hastings (Tas.). Incomes also vary, with typical weekly household income well higher in Recherche at $1,125 compared to $833 in Hastings (Tas.).

Both areas have tracked similarly over time, remaining very quiet with almost no public transport and no homes within a short walk of schools or shops. They are both car-dependent, though Recherche has more homes within a 15-minute walk of a park. Both areas have a typical resident age well above the national figure, and they each lack basic walkable amenities.
