Meander and Montana are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different profiles. Meander is an older community where the typical resident is 52 and 23.1% of people are seniors. It is more likely to have one-parent families (15.6%) and people working from home (16.1%). Montana is younger, with a typical age of 44 and a much higher share of children under 15 (19.3%). Income is also higher in Montana, where the typical household earns $1,625 a week compared to $1,138 in Meander.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining largely rural with no public transport and a similar share of people who do not identify with a religion (about 44%). They are also alike in their workforce, with around 53% of people employed full-time. While Meander has a few more walkable amenities, both areas are mostly car-dependent and sit well below the national figure for people who speak English as their only language.
