Hadspen Bracknell
Hadspen and Bracknell (L) are two nearby Tasmanian areas with very different layouts. Hadspen is a more walkable place, with a score of 4.9 (somewhat walkable) and most residents living within a 15-minute walk of groceries and public transport. In contrast, Bracknell (L) is car-dependent, with a walkability score of 1.1 and no homes within walking distance of groceries or transport. Hadspen also has a more diverse mix of housing, while Bracknell (L) consists entirely of separate houses. Educational and income gaps are also evident, as Year 12 completion is far higher in Hadspen (37.5% compared to 26.2% in Bracknell (L)) and more households earn $3,000 or more a week.
Both areas are almost identical in that about half of their residents—around 52%—report no religion. This shared outlook exists alongside other similarities, such as typical weekly rents of $250 and nearly the same number of people per home. However, some gaps are widening; the difference in Year 12 completion has grown since 2011, and Hadspen now has a much higher share of adults working or looking for work than Bracknell (L).
