Campbell Town Swansea

Campbell Town (L) and Swansea (L) are two small Tasmanian centres with distinct profiles. Swansea (L) is much older, with a typical resident aged 63 and 46.0% of the population aged 65 and over. It is also more walkable, with 66.4% of homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport compared to 41.2% in Campbell Town (L). In contrast, Campbell Town (L) has a younger feel, with a higher share of children under 15 (13.6% compared to 7.2%) and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 7.0%.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted significantly. The age difference has grown, as the gap in typical resident age widened from 1 year to 10 years. Other trends have flipped; for example, Campbell Town (L) now has a higher share of people caring for children unpaid and more people living alone than it did relative to Swansea (L). Despite these changes, the two areas remain alike in several ways: both have about 2 people per home, similar rental rates around $230, and roughly the same share of adults working or looking for work.
