Electrona (L) and Kettering (L) are neighbouring areas in Tasmania that differ sharply in age and household makeup. Electrona (L) is much younger, with a typical resident aged 37 and 24.8% of people being children under 15. This is a contrast to Kettering (L), where the typical resident is 52 and people aged 65 and over make up 30.4% of the population. These differences extend to housing, where 60.0% of homes in Kettering (L) are owned outright, compared to 31.6% in Electrona (L).
