Wynyard Gawler

Wynyard and Gawler (L) (Tas.) are two different kinds of Tasmanian localities. Wynyard is a larger, very walkable hub where 30.8% of households rent and the typical resident is 50. People living alone are far more common there, at 36.6%. In contrast, Gawler (L) (Tas.) is a sparsely populated area where every home is a separate house and 53.4% are owned outright. Life there is car-dependent, with a much higher typical weekly income of $1,406 and far more large homes, as 95.1% have three or more bedrooms.

Daily life in both places shares some common ground, such as having nearly identical shares of people who need help with daily activities. They also track similarly in a few financial areas, with about 9% of households in both areas earning $3,000 or more a week. While Wynyard is far more likely to have residents born overseas, both areas sit well above the national figure for people who do not identify with a religion.
