Loongana vs Nietta

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 13 km apart · Loongana profile · Nietta profile

Loongana Nietta

Nietta and Loongana are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. The two places differ most in their people and land; Nietta has a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, with 10 people compared to none in Loongana. Residents in Loongana are noticeably older, with a typical age of 63 compared to 59 in Nietta, and typical weekly household incomes are a little higher in Loongana at $900 against $741 in Nietta.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent and lack local schools, health services, or grocery stores within walking distance. This shared isolation is reflected in the gap for walkable amenities, which is far higher in Loongana, though both areas remain largely without local services. The typical number of people per home is similar in both, and the divide in their typical weekly personal incomes has remained relatively small.
