0800, NT 0839, NT

Postcode 0800 and postcode 0839 are two different types of residential areas in the Greater Darwin region. Postcode 0800 is a highly educated and affluent hub, where 41.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 27.0% of households earn $3,000 or more per week. It is also more diverse, with 45.8% of people born overseas and 35.3% using another language at home. In contrast, postcode 0839 has a higher share of one-parent families (27.0%) and a smaller proportion of adults with a university degree (15.0%).

Everyday life in both areas shares several common threads, such as a similar lack of religious affiliation and nearly identical typical monthly mortgage payments of around $1,770. Residents in both postcodes also have almost universal access to groceries and health services within a 15-minute walk. Over time, some gaps have narrowed, such as the difference in the share of overseas-born residents, while others have widened, including the gap in full-time employment and Year 12 completion.
