Lake St Clair vs Mersey Forest

Lake St Clair and Mersey Forest are both sparsely populated, non-residential areas in Tasmania. Lake St Clair has a tiny population of 9 people, while Mersey Forest has no residents. The land in Mersey Forest is a little steeper, with a mean terrain slope of 10.4% compared to 7.5% in Lake St Clair.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops, schools, health services, or public transport. This total lack of local amenities is a defining commonality for both places, as neither has any residents living within walking distance of a park or a grocery store.
