Latrobe Gawler

Latrobe and Gawler (L) (Tas.) are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different scales and layouts. Latrobe is a larger hub where 29% of households rent and 30.9% of people live alone, while Gawler (L) (Tas.) is sparsely populated and more residential, with 53.4% of homes owned outright. This difference extends to the streets; Latrobe is somewhat walkable with many residents within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, and transport, whereas Gawler (L) (Tas.) is car-dependent and has no homes within a 15-minute walk of these amenities.
