0822, NT 0846, NT

Postcode 0822 and postcode 0846 are two distinct Northern Territory areas. Postcode 0822 is a large, young community where 70% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and 67.6% use a language other than English at home. It is characterized by larger households and lower typical weekly incomes of $298. In contrast, postcode 0846 is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical resident aged 52 and a higher typical weekly income of $583. About 45% of its homes are owned outright, compared to just 14.8% in postcode 0822.

Both areas are car-dependent, as they share the same walkability score. They also face similar levels of overall disadvantage and have nearly identical rates of people needing help with daily activities. However, many of the gaps between them have grown since 2011. This is seen in the age difference, which has widened to 22 years, and the income gap, which has increased to $285.
