Howrah Tranmere

Howrah and Tranmere (Tas.) are neighbouring areas with very different layouts. Howrah is a very walkable hub where 68.3% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of city amenities, including groceries and health services. In contrast, Tranmere (Tas.) is mostly car-dependent, with no homes in a 15-minute walkshed and a typical home more likely to have four bedrooms. Tranmere (Tas.) is also wealthier; the typical household income is $2,435 a week, well higher than the $1,690 seen in Howrah.

These differences in wealth and housing are becoming more pronounced, as the gap in typical household income has widened over time. Despite this, the two areas share several traits, such as having nearly identical proportions of children under 15 and a similar share of volunteers. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for people with no religion, though this is slightly higher in Howrah at 47.2%.
