Deloraine Mole Creek

Deloraine and Mole Creek (L) are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different housing and social profiles. Deloraine is a larger hub where 31.3% of people are seniors and 35.7% of residents live alone. In contrast, Mole Creek (L) is sparsely populated with a higher proportion of larger homes, as 84.4% have three or more bedrooms compared to 68.9% in Deloraine. Recent overseas arrivals are also far more common in Deloraine, where 13.3% of the population arrived from abroad, while there are no recent arrivals in Mole Creek (L).

These differences have become more pronounced over time, particularly as the gap in home ownership has widened. Many people in both areas share similar daily realities, such as a typical weekly income of around $540 and nearly identical unemployment rates of about 6%. They also have similar shares of adults with bachelor degrees and very few people who speak little or no English.
