0822, NT 0837, NT

Postcode 0822 and postcode 0837 are two very different parts of the Northern Territory. Postcode 0822 is a large area with a young population, where the typical resident is 30, and 70% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. In contrast, postcode 0837 is much smaller and older, with a typical age of 43. There are also stark financial gaps; the typical weekly family income in postcode 0837 is $1,774, which is far higher than the $833 seen in postcode 0822.

Both areas are similar in that about 30% of their residents have completed Year 12 and typical weekly household incomes are nearly the same, at $1,347 for postcode 0822 and $1,419 for postcode 0837. While some gaps are closing—such as the difference in the share of renters—others have grown. For example, the gap in the unemployment rate has widened since 2011, and the difference in the proportion of people who own their homes outright has also increased.
