Mount Hicks Yolla

Mount Hicks and Yolla are neighbouring rural areas in Tasmania. Mount Hicks has a more established feel, where 52.6% of homes are owned outright and the typical First Nations resident is far older at 49. In contrast, Yolla is more likely to have one-parent families (20.8% compared to 10.2% in Mount Hicks) and people living alone (35.0% vs 16.5%). While Mount Hicks has a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree (18.2%), Yolla is more walkable, with 47.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school.

Both areas are effectively identical in many ways, including their typical weekly household incomes of around $1,300 and the fact that every home is a separate house. These neighbours share the same lack of public transport and are both located over three and a half hours from the city. This shared rural character is consistent across both places, though Yolla has seen more recent growth in its First Nations population, which is now well higher than in Mount Hicks.
