Why Very Few People Live In Tasmania? #shorts
Why does nobody live on Australia’s beautiful island state of Tasmania? Well, that's not entirely
true—half a million people do. But compared to mainland Australia, it feels almost empty!
Tasmania is roughly the size of Ireland but has a population smaller than some areas of Sydney.
First, the geography. Over 40% of Tasmania is protected wilderness—stunning, but not exactly
ideal for housing or farming. Its isolated location also means fewer job opportunities and higher
costs of living, as almost everything has to be imported.
And let’s talk about connectivity—Tasmania doesn’t have a bridge to the mainland, so it can feel
very far from the rest of the country. Flights and ferries can be pricey, keeping tourism strong but
making it less appealing for permanent settlers.
Tasmania’s small population is actually one of its biggest charms! Life here is relaxed,
communities are tight-knit, and the air? It's some of the cleanest on Earth!
