Preservation Bay West Pine

West Pine and Preservation Bay are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with small populations. They differ most in wealth and age; Preservation Bay has a far older typical resident (48 compared to 39 in West Pine) and a much higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week (28.9% compared to 8.3%). West Pine is more likely to have homes owned outright (54.2% versus 36.8%) and larger homes with three or more bedrooms (87.5% versus 73.7%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 as rural settings where car use is essential, as neither has any public transport stops. They share a similar proportion of people aged 65 and over and an identical lack of residents who speak little or no English. While Preservation Bay is more walkable with more nearby amenities and a higher rate of volunteering, both areas sit well above the national figure for the share of people who identify as having no religion.
