Population Centers of Tasmania

Tasmania is often considered a rural outpost of Australia. Let’s look at some of the state’s population centers to get a feel of its size.
Hobart is the biggest city although its not that much bigger than a small town. Its population of 240,000 makes up about 1/2 of Tasmania’s population (only 540,000!)
Launceston, in the north, has a population of 100,000.
Devonport has 30,000 people.
As we go further, no small town has over 30,000 people. Tasmania is a HUGE island - one of the biggest islands of the world (ranking #26)- and yet has a minuscule population- less than that of the SF Bay Area. That gives an idea of what we’ll see- less people, more nature!
