Karanja Westerway

Westerway and Karanja are two neighbouring areas in Tasmania, but they have very different profiles. Westerway has a larger population and a much stronger First Nations presence at 17.1%. It also has more children and seniors, with 20% of people aged 65 and over. Health challenges are more common here, as 41.9% of residents have a long-term health condition and 13.3% need help with daily activities. In contrast, Karanja is sparsely populated and has a much higher typical household income of $2,050 per week, compared to $949 in Westerway.

Both areas are very similar in their lack of public transport and the fact that no one uses a language other than English at home. They also share a similar living density, with about two people per home. While Westerway is slightly more walkable and has more amenities, both places remain largely car-dependent. These two neighbours have also stayed alike in that neither area has any residents who speak little or no English.
