Dover Ranelagh

Ranelagh and Dover are two nearby Tasmanian areas with very different populations. Ranelagh is much younger, with the typical resident aged 36 and children under 15 making up 23.3% of the people. This is a contrast to Dover, where the typical resident is far older at 57, and seniors aged 65 and over make up 36.3% of the population. Ranelagh also sees far more working adults (65.8% compared to 47.2% in Dover) and a typical weekly household income that is far higher at $1,596, while Dover's is $919.

Both areas share similar levels of university qualifications and a very low number of people who speak little or no English. However, the gaps between them have often widened since 2011, particularly regarding age and income. For example, the gap in the number of children and seniors has grown significantly. While Ranelagh has far more homes within walking distance of groceries and public transport, Dover has far better access to health services and schools on foot.
