0800, NT 0829, NT

Postcode 0800 and postcode 0829 are two very different areas in Greater Darwin. Postcode 0800 is a highly educated, international hub where 45.8% of people were born overseas, 35.3% speak another language at home, and 41.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 0829 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 48.0% and a higher share of former Defence Force members at 28.0%. While postcode 0800 is dominated by apartments and renters, postcode 0829 has far more separate houses and homes owned outright.

The gap in the number of people born overseas has widened since 2011. Both areas share a similar typical weekly personal income of around $1,200 to $1,300 and have an identical average of 2.0 people per home. However, they differ greatly in their accessibility; postcode 0800 is very walkable with most homes within a short stroll of parks and shops, while postcode 0829 is car-dependent, with some residents facing a 60-minute walk to the nearest transport stop.
