Coomalie Darwin Waterfront Precinct

Coomalie and Darwin Waterfront Precinct are very different types of places. Coomalie is a larger, older area where the typical resident is 51 and 20.5% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. It is mostly made up of separate houses, with 37.9% owned outright. In contrast, the Darwin Waterfront Precinct is a small, high-density hub of apartments where the typical resident is 37. It is much more diverse, with 37.9% born overseas, and has a highly qualified population where 50.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. These differences extend to income, with the typical household in the Waterfront Precinct earning $2,281 a week, far higher than the $996 typical in Coomalie.

Both areas are very similar in the amount of unpaid care their residents provide, with around 9% of people in each area doing so.
