Franklin (Nelson) Lyons (Derwent)

Lyons (Derwent) and Franklin (Nelson) are two distinct Tasmanian areas with very different social and physical profiles. Franklin (Nelson) is a very walkable area with a much more qualified population, where 34.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 26.2% were born overseas. In contrast, Lyons (Derwent) is mostly car-dependent and has a higher share of one-parent families (25.5%) and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (10.9%). Education levels also differ sharply, with 63.3% of residents in Franklin (Nelson) completing Year 12 compared to 32.6% in Lyons (Derwent).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have generally widened. This is most evident in the share of university graduates, people born overseas, and those who volunteer, all of which have grown much faster in Franklin (Nelson). Despite these diverging trends, the two areas share a typical resident age of 38 and almost identical proportions of people living alone and those providing unpaid care.
