Montagu Scopus

Montagu and Scopus are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Montagu is more likely to have people working from home (27.7% compared to 0.0% in Scopus) and has a higher share of full-time workers at 70.2% against 53.3% in Scopus. In contrast, Scopus has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 30.4%, compared with 14.5% in Montagu.

Both areas are car-dependent, with neither having any public transport stops or a single home within a 15-minute walk of local amenities.
