Hobart Dodges Ferry - Lewisham

Hobart and Dodges Ferry - Lewisham are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different characters. Hobart is a very walkable hub where 31.7% of households rent and 20.9% of people were born overseas. It has a much higher share of university graduates (31.5%) and recent overseas arrivals (21.7%). In contrast, Dodges Ferry - Lewisham is mostly car-dependent and consists almost entirely of separate houses (99.6%). Residents there are typically older, and a much smaller share speak a language other than English at home (2.6%).

Both areas are remarkably similar in their typical weekly personal incomes, which sit around $770, and the typical rent for both is exactly $350. These shared financial markers exist alongside a widening gap in diversity and housing; the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown from 7.8% to 12.2% since 2011. While Hobart remains a highly walkable center, the gap in home ownership has also grown, with renting now far more common in Hobart than in Dodges Ferry - Lewisham.
