Burnie - Somerset Heybridge

Burnie - Somerset and Heybridge (L) are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with very different layouts. Burnie - Somerset is a larger, very walkable hub where 75.6% of homes have a 15-minute-city walkshed, while Heybridge (L) is car-dependent and has no such homes. There are also sharp differences in housing and age: Burnie - Somerset has a much higher share of renters (34.4%) and a younger population, while Heybridge (L) is far older with a typical resident aged 50 and more homes owned outright (43.6%).
