Rosebery Waratah

Rosebery (Tas.) and Waratah (Tas.) are two nearby Tasmanian towns with very different economic profiles. Rosebery (Tas.) has a more active workforce, with 43.0% of adults working or looking for work and far more people employed full-time (62.0%) than in Waratah (Tas.) (48.3%). This is consistent with a workforce more focused on mining and professional roles. Waratah (Tas.) has a noticeably older population, with a typical age of 55 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (26.9%). Health challenges are also more common here, with 52.6% of residents living with a long-term health condition compared to 37.9% in Rosebery (Tas.).

Both towns share a nearly identical housing style, with 91.7% of homes being separate houses. They also have the same rate of people who finished Year 12 (29.5%) and an identical lack of recent overseas arrivals. While they share these basic traits, their local services differ; Rosebery (Tas.) is far better served for health and education, with 58.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services and 53.7% near a school, while Waratah (Tas.) has no such facilities within that walk.
