Romaine Shorewell Park

Shorewell Park and Romaine are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with distinct social and economic profiles. Shorewell Park is more walkable (somewhat walkable) compared to Romaine (mostly car-dependent), with far more people living within a 15-minute walk of groceries (77.6% versus 11.7%) and health services (81.1% versus 4.4%). However, Romaine has a far higher typical weekly household income of $1,449, while Shorewell Park's is $856. Shorewell Park also has a much higher proportion of renters (58.0% versus 22.9%) and one-parent families (34.6% versus 14.3%).

These two areas have tracked together in many ways since 2011, and they remain very similar in several respects. Both have the same typical resident age of 40 and an almost identical share of children under 15. They are also alike in their rates of people providing unpaid care and the proportion of residents who do not identify with a religion. While their housing and income patterns differ, the general stability of their populations suggests they have evolved as complementary parts of the same region.
