Binalong Bay Fingal

Fingal and Binalong Bay are two small Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Binalong Bay has a much higher share of university-educated adults at 23.3%, compared to just 3.2% in Fingal. This gap in qualifications is mirrored in the typical weekly income, which is well higher in Binalong Bay at $1,012 than in Fingal's $783. In contrast, Fingal has a far higher share of full-time workers (50.5% compared to 33.7%) and more homes with three or more bedrooms.

Rental prices have drifted further apart since 2016, with the gap widening to $86 per week. Despite this, both areas are quite similar in other ways.

Both areas also have a population far older than the national figure, and neither has any recent arrivals from overseas.
