Stanley Ridgley

Stanley (L) and Ridgley (L) are two small Tasmanian areas with very different characters. Stanley (L) is a very walkable place where the typical resident is far older at 51, compared to just 36 in Ridgley (L). This age gap is reflected in the homes; Stanley (L) has far more people living alone (34.7%) and a higher share of renters (24.9%), while Ridgley (L) has far more large homes with three or more bedrooms (89.7%). Stanley (L) also has a more qualified workforce, with 16.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, compared to just 3.0% in Ridgley (L).

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has shifted or grown in several ways, such as the age and education differences which have both flipped. They do share some common ground, including very similar typical weekly household incomes and a similar share of adults working or looking for work. Both areas also have a very low unemployment rate, and neither has any residents who speak little or no English.
