0800, NT 0820, NT

Postcode 0820 and postcode 0800 are neighbouring areas in Greater Darwin with very different layouts. Postcode 0800 is a walker's paradise where 99.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services and nearly all residents live in flats or apartments. In contrast, postcode 0820 has more separate houses and larger schools, with an average school size of 461 compared to 180 in postcode 0800. Postcode 0800 is also more transient and diverse, with a far higher share of people born overseas (45.8%) and a much higher proportion of renters (75.3%).

Both areas share a similar level of general advantage and a high rate of university education, with typical weekly incomes around $2,200. While they are alike in these ways, the gap in overseas births and the number of people living alone has widened since 2011. Postcode 0800 has become increasingly distinct as a high-density hub, while postcode 0820 maintains a higher share of families with children and people aged 65 and over.
