ATTENDANCE AT CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
About 4 in 5 Tasmanians aged 18 years and over attended at least one of the cultural venues or events (e.g. cinemas, libraries, museums, theatre performances and concerts) included in a 2002 ABS survey. The overall attendance rate for Tasmania was 84.3%. Attendance rates varied little between the three Tasmanian Regions:
- Greater Hobart-Southern Region, 85.8%
- Northern Region, 82.6%
- Mersey-Lyell Region, 83.2%
For a definition of the three Tasmanian Regions see 'Statistical Regions' in the 'Regional Maps' chapter of Regional Statistics, Tasmania (cat. no. 1362.6).
