⚠️ Bottom 10 Worst Connected Suburbs
These suburbs sit at the very bottom of Hobart's rankings — minimal PT access, long journey times, and very few destinations reachable without a car.
Why they score so low
Hobart's worst-connected suburbs are the rural Channel area, Coal River Valley and remote Peninsula communities — places where Metro Tasmania doesn't reach and journeys to the CBD require lengthy drives to a bus stop. Seven Mile Beach and Sandford score just 27.
