Longley Sandfly

Sandfly and Longley are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different housing and rental markets. Sandfly has a much higher typical weekly rent of $420 compared to $175 in Longley, and a far higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (84.3% versus 67.8%). There are also stark differences between their First Nations populations; those in Sandfly are far older and have a much higher typical personal income of $833, while in Longley they are noticeably younger with a typical income of $450.

These gaps in housing and income contrast with the way the two areas track together in other respects. They are almost identical in their typical household incomes and the share of homes owned outright. They also both have a very high proportion of people who report no religion, which is far above the national figure. While some differences are stable, the gap in the number of people providing unpaid care has widened, with Sandfly now well higher than Longley.
