Clifton Beach South Arm

South Arm (L) and Clifton Beach (L) are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Clifton Beach (L) is a wealthier area where a typical household earns $2,426 a week, compared to $1,335 in South Arm (L). It also has a more highly qualified workforce, with 40.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, while the figure is 22.0% in South Arm (L). In contrast, South Arm (L) is noticeably older, with 28.9% of people aged 65 and over, far higher than the 11.5% seen in Clifton Beach (L). This older demographic is consistent with a higher share of people living alone (27.1% versus 12.1%) and a greater need for daily help.

Both areas are essentially identical in their housing, as every home in each is a separate house. They also both sit near the national figure for the share of people who need help with daily activities. While they share these basics, the gap between them has widened across many measures since 2011. For example, the difference in typical weekly incomes has grown from just $51 to $1,091. South Arm (L) remains more walkable and mostly car-dependent, whereas Clifton Beach (L) is strictly car-dependent.
