Longley Neika

Longley and Neika are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with similar populations, but they differ in their wealth and education profiles. Longley has a higher share of high-earners, with 26.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week compared to 15.4% in Neika. Longley also has more walkable amenities and better street connectivity. In contrast, Neika has a more highly qualified workforce, with 44.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, far higher than the 29.2% in Longley.

These two areas have tracked closely since 2011, remaining similar in their housing styles and demographics. Both are dominated by detached houses and have roughly the same share of retirees. They also share a total lack of commuters using public transport and an identical number of transport stops. While they are almost alike in these respects, the gap in typical weekly household income remains significant, with Longley's typical income being $2,196, well higher than the $1,666 seen in Neika.
