Kimberley Moltema

Kimberley (Tas.) and Moltema are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Tasmania. They differ most in age and housing; Kimberley (Tas.) is far older, with a typical resident aged 51 compared to 37 in Moltema. This older profile is reflected in the fact that 24.2% of Kimberley (Tas.) residents are seniors, while only 6.7% are in Moltema. Kimberley (Tas.) also has much higher rates of outright home ownership at 57.7%, whereas 33.3% of homes in Moltema are rented.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining small, rural places where every home is a separate house. They share a similar lack of public transport and are both far from schools and health services. Life in both areas is largely car-dependent, though Kimberley (Tas.) is slightly more walkable for those visiting local parks. Outside of these differences, they are alike in their typical family incomes and the proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force.
