Kaoota Lower Longley

Lower Longley and Kaoota are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with similar population sizes, but they differ sharply in family life and housing. Kaoota has a much younger population, with children under 15 making up 24.5% of residents compared to just 10.5% in Lower Longley. This is consistent with more people in Kaoota caring for children unpaid (33.5%) and doing more unpaid housework (29.5%). Meanwhile, Lower Longley is more expensive, with a typical weekly rent of $383, far higher than the $163 typical rent in Kaoota. Lower Longley also has more large homes, with 89.2% having three or more bedrooms.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, and they remain very similar in other ways. Both have the same share of full-time workers (59.6%) and similar typical weekly incomes, around $825 to $857. They also share a lack of recent overseas arrivals and a total reliance on cars, as neither area has any residents who commute by public transport. This reflects their rural nature, though Lower Longley has more public transport stops and a much shorter walk to the nearest one than Kaoota.
