Exeter Swan Point

Exeter (Tas.) and Swan Point (L) are neighbouring areas in Tasmania with very different levels of convenience. Exeter (Tas.) is mostly car-dependent but has a a far higher number of amenities within a 15-minute walk, including groceries, health services, and schools—all of which are completely absent within that distance in Swan Point (L), which is described as car-dependent. Residents in Swan Point (L) are noticeably older, with a typical age of 56 compared to 50 in Exeter (Tas.), and homes there are more likely to be larger and owned outright, at 54.5% compared to 42.8% in Exeter (Tas.).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, with the gap widening for home ownership and the typical age of residents. Despite this, they share a similar everyday reality in many ways, such as having the same typical number of people per home (2.3) and nearly identical weekly personal incomes. Both areas also have similar shares of adults with a bachelor degree or higher and an almost identical proportion of people who have moved in the last five years.
