Ranelagh Franklin

Ranelagh and Franklin are neighbouring Tasmanian areas with very different populations. Ranelagh is a younger place where the typical resident is 36, and children under 15 make up 23.3% of the population. In contrast, Franklin is dominated by seniors, who make up 51.4% of its residents, and the typical person there is 64. This age gap is reflected in the homes; Ranelagh has far more large houses with three or more bedrooms (83.6%), while Franklin has a much higher share of people needing help with daily activities (17.6%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several key ways, with the age gap and the difference in unpaid childcare widening. However, they still share some common ground, such as similar rates of university degrees and a typical weekly rent of around $330 to $350. Both areas are also described as somewhat walkable, though they offer different conveniences: nearly all Ranelagh homes are within a short walk of groceries, while most Franklin homes are close to a school or health services.
