Hobart
148 km²
Hobart has evolved into a highly accessible urban hub that balances natural terrain with modern living. It is a city where most people live within a short walk of their daily needs, including health services and schools. The community is marked by a First Nations population that is notably more qualified and earns more than those in most similar areas. This combination of walkability and a productive workforce defines the character of the city.
