Norwood St Leonards

Norwood (Tas.) and St Leonards (Tas.) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Norwood (Tas.) is much older, with a typical resident aged 48 and 31.8% of the population aged 65 or over. It is also far more walkable, with 95.1% of homes within a 15 minute walk of groceries and 61.6% near health services. In contrast, St Leonards (Tas.) is younger, with a typical age of 38 and a well higher share of children under 15 at 20.3%.

These two areas are very similar in their typical weekly family incomes, which sit around $1,838 in Norwood (Tas.) and $1,927 in St Leonards (Tas.). This financial similarity exists alongside other shared traits, such as having almost identical proportions of people who speak little or no English.
