Franklin Kettering

Franklin (L) and Kettering (L) are two small Tasmanian areas with very different profiles. Franklin (L) is an older community where the typical resident is 64, and 51.4% of people are aged 65 or over. This higher age is reflected in the 17.6% of residents who need help with daily activities. In contrast, Kettering (L) has a younger typical age of 52 and a more qualified workforce, with 25.4% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 15.4% in Franklin (L). Kettering (L) also has far more homeowners, with 60.0% owning their home outright.

These two places have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with several gaps flipping or widening. For example, Franklin (L) is now far older than Kettering (L), whereas the gap was much smaller a decade ago. Despite these shifts, they share a similar percentage of residents born overseas (around 16%) and nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of about $1,200. While Franklin (L) is more walkable with better access to schools and health services, neither area has a grocery store within a 15-minute walk.
