Latrobe Mole Creek

Latrobe and Mole Creek (L) are two different kinds of Tasmanian settlements. Latrobe is a larger centre with a more mobile population, where 43.5% of people moved in during the last five years and 21.5% arrived from overseas. It has a higher rate of full-time employment (58.4%) and typical weekly household incomes are higher at $1,137. Mole Creek (L) is a sparsely populated area with a much older typical resident (51 years) and a strong leaning toward home ownership, with 56.7% of homes owned outright.

Both areas are similar in that they are both somewhat walkable and have almost identical typical weekly rents of $250. They also share similar unemployment rates and a similar share of people who identify as having no religion. While they share these commonalities, the gap in home ownership has widened since 2011, and the age gap has also grown, with residents in Mole Creek (L) now far older than those in Latrobe.
