Cygnet vs Ranelagh

Urban Centre comparison ≈ 17 km apart · Cygnet profile · Ranelagh profile

Cygnet Ranelagh

Ranelagh (L) and Cygnet are two nearby Tasmanian areas with very different social profiles. Ranelagh (L) is much younger, with a typical resident aged 36 compared to 45 in Cygnet. This younger age helps explain why Ranelagh (L) has far more children under 15 (23.3%) and more people caring for children unpaid (36.4%). There is also a stark difference in wealth; the typical weekly household income in Ranelagh (L) is $1,596, which is far higher than the $941 seen in Cygnet.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, as they have almost identical rates of university degrees and very few people who speak little or no English. However, they are drifting apart in other ways. The gap in typical age has widened since 2011, and the income difference has grown significantly. While both have a high share of homes within a 15-minute walk of some amenities, Cygnet is far more walkable for schools and health services, whereas Ranelagh (L) has no residents within a 15-minute walk of either.
