Swansea Binalong Bay

Swansea (L) and Binalong Bay (L) are two small Tasmanian locations with very different layouts. Swansea (L) is a somewhat walkable hub where many residents live within a 15-minute walk of groceries, schools and health services. In contrast, Binalong Bay (L) is car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of these same services. The two areas also differ in their people; Binalong Bay (L) has a much higher share of residents who finished Year 12 (52.5% compared to 29.2% in Swansea (L)) and more people who report having no religion (51.0% compared to 34.5%).

Both areas see very few people using a language other than English at home, a figure that sits close to the national average. They also share similar typical weekly personal incomes, which are around $560. While they are alike in these respects, other gaps have shifted since 2011. The difference in education has widened over time, and the gap in the number of people aged 65 and over has flipped, with Swansea (L) now having a notably higher share at 46.0%.
