Kingston Kingston Beach

Kingston (Tas.) and Kingston Beach are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Kingston Beach is far older, with a typical resident aged 47 compared to 36 in Kingston (Tas.). This age gap is reflected in home ownership, as 45.0% of Kingston Beach homes are owned outright, which is far higher than the 32.9% in Kingston (Tas.). Kingston (Tas.) is more family-oriented, with a higher share of children under 15 (17.7% versus 13.4%) and far more homes within a 15-minute walk of schools (56.2% versus 22.9%) and groceries (62.8% versus 25.7%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining closely matched in several key ways. They share almost identical typical household incomes, around $1,520 a week, and typical weekly rents of $380. They are also alike in their proportions of people with no religion and those needing help with daily activities. While Kingston Beach is more walkable to public transport, both areas sit well above the national figure for volunteers.
