Scottsdale Tonganah

Scottsdale and Tonganah are neighbouring areas in Tasmania, though they offer very different ways of life. Scottsdale is a larger hub where many people live with long-term health conditions (38.1%) or mental health conditions (11.6%), and it has a high share of seniors at 27.6%. In contrast, Tonganah is sparsely populated and much younger, with children under 15 making up 40% of its residents. Wealth also differs sharply; the typical family income in Tonganah is $2,124 a week, far higher than the $1,317 seen in Scottsdale.

Both areas share a similar physical landscape with nearly identical terrain slopes. They also have very similar household densities, with the same typical number of people per bedroom. While Scottsdale is very walkable and has many shops and health services within a short stroll, Tonganah is car-dependent with no such amenities. This divide in infrastructure is reflected in the housing market, where the typical monthly home-loan payment is far higher in Tonganah at $1,658, compared to $1,018 in Scottsdale.
