Dunalley Nubeena
Nubeena and Dunalley are two small, nearby Tasmanian areas with distinct social profiles. Residents are far older in Nubeena, where the typical person is 55, compared to 47 in Dunalley. This older population is consistent with Nubeena having a much higher share of people living alone (47.1% versus 31.9%) and a higher rate of those needing help with daily activities. In contrast, Dunalley has a more working-age feel, with typical weekly incomes far higher at $1,271 compared to $746 in Nubeena, and a greater share of homes with three or more bedrooms.
While they have tracked differently, some gaps between them have shifted since 2011. The age difference has narrowed, and the income gap has flipped, with Dunalley now the higher earner. Despite these shifts, both areas remain similar in other ways; they are both somewhat walkable and have almost identical rates of people born overseas (around 11%) and unemployment (around 8% to 9%). They also share a similar housing pattern, with nearly half of homes in both areas owned outright.
