Premaydena Saltwater River

Premaydena and Saltwater River are two sparsely populated neighbouring areas in Tasmania. Premaydena has a much more qualified workforce, with 32.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 11.3% in Saltwater River. It is also a place where more people work from home (30.9% versus 14.8%) and more residents live alone (34.0% versus 20.8%). In contrast, Saltwater River has a larger First Nations population, making up 12.2% of its residents compared to 2.9% in Premaydena.

The two areas have seen their differences in education and mobility widen over time, with Premaydena becoming far more likely to have residents who finished Year 12 and far more likely to have people who moved in the last five years. Despite these shifting trends, they share several similarities; every home in both places is a separate house, and no one in either area uses public transport to get to work.
