Highcroft Stormlea

Highcroft and Stormlea are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Highcroft is much older, with a typical resident aged 60 compared to 46 in Stormlea. This age gap is seen in the senior population, which is far higher in Highcroft at 35.7%, while Stormlea has no residents aged 65 and over. Consequently, Highcroft has far more people with long-term health conditions (45.2%) and those needing help with daily activities (7.1%). In contrast, typical monthly home-loan payments are far higher in Stormlea at $4,258, compared to $1,066 in Highcroft.

These two neighbours share very similar daily realities, with almost identical typical household incomes and no residents under 15. Both areas are completely car-dependent, as neither has any public transport stops or amenities within a 15-minute walk. While Highcroft has a larger First Nations population (21.4%) and a higher share of people with no religion, both areas have tracked closely in terms of their lack of walkable services.
