Launceston Hadspen

Launceston and Hadspen are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Launceston is a much larger, very walkable hub where 23.1% of people are recent arrivals from overseas and 22.2% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It is also far more likely to have homes within walking distance of schools (70.7%) and health services (56.5%). In contrast, Hadspen is a smaller area where children under 15 are more common (20.8%) and more adults are working or looking for work (67.2%).

The two areas share a typical resident age of 39 years. They are also similar in their share of people providing unpaid care and the typical monthly home-loan payment. Over time, some gaps have widened; Launceston has become far more likely to be a place for renters and recent overseas arrivals compared to Hadspen. Meanwhile, the share of people with no religion is now well higher in Hadspen.
