Kaoota Snug

Snug and Kaoota are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different layouts. Snug is a very walkable hub where 81.5% of homes have a 15-minute city walkshed, including nearby schools, health services, and groceries. In contrast, Kaoota is car-dependent, with no such amenities within walking distance. This difference extends to housing and transport; typical weekly rent is far higher in Snug at $350 compared to $163 in Kaoota, and Snug has many more public transport stops and departures.

While the two areas have tracked differently in their layout, the gap in their age structures is widening, with the share of seniors now 6.7 percentage points higher in Snug. Despite this, they share a similar family life, with almost identical shares of children under 15 and very similar typical weekly family incomes. Both areas also see a high proportion of people who identify as having no religion, though this is far higher in Kaoota at 67.7%.
