Cremorne Opossum Bay

Cremorne (L) and Opossum Bay (L) are nearby areas in Tasmania that differ sharply in age and income. Cremorne (L) is a younger area where 22.5% of people are children, and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $2,284. This is consistent with a high number of families with children and more adults working or looking for work. In contrast, Opossum Bay (L) is much older, with the typical resident aged 56 and 32.6% of the population aged 65 and over. Typical weekly household incomes are much lower here at $1,302, and more people live alone.

Both areas are effectively alike in their home ownership rates, with 42.8% of homes owned outright in each. They also share a similar profile of residents who do not speak English as a first language and those in de facto relationships. However, the gaps between them have often grown since 2011, particularly regarding the age of residents and the difference in typical household incomes.
