Lake Sorell Morass Bay

Morass Bay and Lake Sorell are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Morass Bay is a very small community of 13 people where the typical resident is just 25. Homes there are quite crowded, with a typical five people per home, and the typical weekly household income is far higher at $2,250. In contrast, Lake Sorell is largely non-residential with no recorded population, but the typical resident is far older at 45 and typical weekly household incomes are much lower at $1,375.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or schools. This lack of local amenities is a shared reality for these two nearby places, though Morass Bay is slightly more accessible with a shorter drive time to the city than Lake Sorell.
