Perth Campbell Town

Perth (Tas.) and Campbell Town (L) are nearby Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Perth (Tas.) is younger, with a typical resident aged 39 compared to 53 in Campbell Town (L). It is also more affluent, where the typical weekly family income is $1,774, far higher than the $1,050 seen in Campbell Town (L). Perth (Tas.) has a higher share of people working or looking for work (64.1% versus 42.6%) and more families with children, which helps explain why more people there are caring for children unpaid (30.4% compared to 18.7%).

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who have moved in the last five years. While they share a similar lack of linguistic diversity, the gaps between them have grown since 2011.
