Invermay Mowbray

Mowbray and Invermay are neighbouring areas in Launceston with similar population sizes. Mowbray is far more multicultural, with 31.1% of people born overseas and 28.4% using a language other than English at home, compared to 19.8% and 15.0% in Invermay. This diversity is consistent with Mowbray having a far higher share of recent overseas arrivals (41.2% versus 30.6%). In contrast, Invermay is much more walkable and accessible, with far more public transport stops, a far higher number of weekly departures, and far better access to groceries and schools within a 15-minute walk.

Everyday life in both areas is similar, with nearly identical typical weekly incomes and a similar share of residents aged 65 and over. They also share a similar proportion of First Nations people and almost the same level of school advantage. While both are more diverse than the national figure, the gap in overseas arrivals and language use remains significant. The two areas also both show high rates of people moving in the last five years, though this is slightly more common in Mowbray.
