Honeywood Old Beach

Old Beach and Honeywood are neighbouring areas in Tasmania, though they offer different lifestyles. Old Beach is more walkable (mostly car-dependent) with more public transport and a wider variety of nearby amenities, such as groceries. It also has a more diverse population, with 10.7% born overseas and 5.3% using another language at home. In contrast, Honeywood is strictly car-dependent, with every single home being a separate house. Honeywood also has a higher typical weekly household income of $2,363, compared to $1,865 in Old Beach.

Everyday life is similar in both places when it comes to employment and transport, as both have almost identical unemployment rates and very few people commuting by public transport. While Old Beach has a higher share of people aged 65 and over (18.4% compared to 9.3%), both areas have a high number of people caring for children unpaid. This shared family focus is seen alongside a common trend where both areas sit well above the national figure for the number of people with a mental health condition.
