Pipers Brook Weymouth

Weymouth and Pipers Brook are both sparsely populated Tasmanian areas with similar population sizes. However, Weymouth is a much older community, where the typical resident is 60 and 41.4% of people are seniors. In contrast, Pipers Brook is younger, with 20.2% of residents being children under 15. This difference is reflected in the housing and income; Pipers Brook has far more large homes with three or more bedrooms (85.4%) and a higher share of people earning $2,000 or more a week (11.2%), while Weymouth has a higher proportion of people living alone (32.6%) and more people with long-term health conditions (40.5%).

Daily life in both places is very similar in some ways, with both being entirely made up of detached houses and having no residents who use a language other than English at home. Both areas are also about the same distance from the city and have no one using public transport to commute. While Weymouth has more people volunteering and a higher share of homes owned outright, Pipers Brook has more people working from home and a higher number of public transport stops.
