Trowutta West Coast

Trowutta and West Coast are both sparsely populated areas in Tasmania. Trowutta is the larger of the two with 88 residents, while West Coast has only 8. Trowutta has a far higher typical weekly household income of $1,325 compared to $450 in West Coast. There are also more people per home in Trowutta, at 2.3, while West Coast is much lower at 1.4. Trowutta is also home to 14 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, whereas there are none in West Coast.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, as neither has any homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or public transport. This shared lack of local amenities is consistent with the very low population density of both places. Residents in both areas are far older than the national figure, with a typical age of 51 in Trowutta and 48 in West Coast.
