Dunalley Eaglehawk Neck

Eaglehawk Neck and Dunalley are two small Tasmanian areas located about 18 km apart. Eaglehawk Neck has a far older population, with a typical resident aged 58 compared to 47 in Dunalley. Residents in Eaglehawk Neck are also more likely to hold a bachelor degree or higher (24.3% versus 8.5%) and work from home (18.8% versus 7.3%). In contrast, Dunalley is more family-oriented, with far more people caring for children unpaid (28.7% versus 18.6%) and a higher share of homes with three or more bedrooms (69.8% versus 59.3%).

Both areas share a similar lack of recent overseas arrivals and very few people who speak a language other than English. This commonality exists alongside a growing divide in their layout; Dunalley is somewhat walkable and many homes are within a short walk of schools and shops, while Eaglehawk Neck is car-dependent with no groceries or schools within a 15-minute walk. Since 2011, the gaps in typical age, home ownership, and education have all widened.
