Electrona Ranelagh

Ranelagh and Electrona are two nearby Tasmanian areas with very different levels of accessibility. Ranelagh is a somewhat walkable area where 94% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 91% have a 15-minute-city walkshed. In contrast, Electrona is mostly car-dependent, with only 11.7% of homes near groceries and 6.6% in a similar walkshed. Ranelagh also has a much higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 12.4% compared to 7.3% in Electrona.

The gap in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has widened since 2011. Despite this, the two areas share many similarities, including almost identical typical weekly household incomes and the same average of 2.7 people per home. They are also alike in their levels of university qualifications and the share of residents who use other languages at home.
