Recherche Southport

Southport (Tas.) and Recherche are both rural Tasmanian areas, though Recherche is sparsely populated with only 16 residents. Southport (Tas.) is noticeably older, with a typical resident aged 59, and has a larger First Nations population. There are significant income gaps between them; typical weekly household income is well higher in Recherche at $1,125, compared to $756 in Southport (Tas.). First Nations household income is also far higher in Recherche at $1,999, while it is much lower in Southport (Tas.) at $949.

Everyday life in both places is heavily reliant on cars. Both are rated as car-dependent, and neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of a school, health services, or public transport. This shared isolation is reflected in their typical ages, as both areas are far older than the national figure. While Southport (Tas.) has more walkable amenities, such as groceries, both areas remain very remote from city centres.
