Melrose Tugrah

Tugrah and Melrose (Tas.) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Tugrah is a younger place where the typical resident is 37, and it has a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (30.6% compared to 12.1% in Melrose (Tas.)). This is consistent with a larger number of children under 15 in Tugrah (23.8%) and a higher proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms (85.7%).

Both areas share similar typical family incomes and the same lack of public transport use.
