Margate Collinsvale

Margate and Collinsvale (L) are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different lifestyles. Margate is a larger, very walkable community where 95.2% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Collinsvale (L) is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with 100% of homes having three or more bedrooms. Financial profiles differ sharply too; 27.4% of Collinsvale (L) households earn $3,000 or more a week, which is far higher than the 15.8% in Margate. While Margate has a higher share of renters at 21.5%, half of the homes in Collinsvale (L) are owned outright.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people who own their home outright. They also share similar rates of full-time employment and roughly the same number of people per home. Since 2011, several gaps have widened, including the difference in typical weekly rent—which is now $153 higher in Margate—and the divide in overseas arrivals, as Margate has seen a much higher share of recent migrants.
