Montana Western Creek

Western Creek and Montana are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Western Creek is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 50 compared to 44 in Montana, and it has a far higher share of seniors at 23.4%. It also has more people born overseas (18.0% versus 8.8%) and a higher proportion of people with no religion (58.6% versus 43.9%). Montana is more likely to have children under 15, and its typical household income is well higher at $1,625 per week, compared to $1,274 in Western Creek.
