Lingiari Solomon

Lingiari and Solomon are two very different Northern Territory areas. Lingiari has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (40.3%) and those using another language at home (38.3%). It is a place of separate houses, with typical weekly rents of $190, and a mostly car-dependent walkability score of 3.2. In contrast, Solomon is very walkable (6.7) and more urban, with 30.6% of people born overseas. It has a more highly qualified workforce, with 29.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to 14.5% in Lingiari, and a far higher share of people who have moved recently (49.7%).

These two areas are seeing their differences shift, such as the gap in the share of people born overseas widening since 2011. Despite these contrasts, they share similar rates of people in de facto relationships and people providing unpaid care. Both areas also have a similar proportion of homes with three or more bedrooms and nearly identical typical monthly home-loan payments of $2,000.
