Binalong Bay St Marys

St Marys (L) and Binalong Bay (L) are two small Tasmanian areas with very different layouts and profiles. St Marys (L) is much more walkable, described as somewhat walkable, with 88.4% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and 86.4% near health services. Binalong Bay (L) is car-dependent and lacks these nearby services, though it has a more highly qualified population; 23.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher compared to 12.6% in St Marys (L). Binalong Bay (L) also has a higher typical weekly household income of $1,012, while St Marys (L) is lower at $755.

Both areas share a similar housing makeup, with about 56% of homes owned outright and a typical of two people per household. This common ground exists alongside a trend of Binalong Bay (L) becoming older and more affluent over time, as the gaps in typical age and personal income have shifted since 2011. Both areas also sit well above the national figure for the share of residents aged 65 and over.
