Rokeby Sandford

Rokeby and Sandford are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different characters. Rokeby is a young, diverse hub where the typical resident is 32 and many people speak a language other than English at home (11.9%). It has a high number of renters (37.9%) and a typical weekly household income of $1,279. In contrast, Sandford is much older, with a typical resident aged 44. It is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,117 a week, and 42.7% of homes are owned outright.

Everyday life shares some common ground, as both areas have similar rates of people caring for children unpaid and roughly the same share of residents who served in the Defence Force. However, their accessibility differs greatly; Rokeby is somewhat walkable with most homes within a 15-minute walk of parks and shops, while Sandford is car-dependent. This divide is stark in the housing market, with renting far more common in Rokeby, whereas Sandford has a much higher share of homes owned without a mortgage.
