0822, NT 0847, NT

Postcode 0822 is a large area with over 25,000 people, while postcode 0847 is sparsely populated with just 318 residents. There are stark differences in their makeup; postcode 0822 has a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (70.0%) and those using another language at home (67.6%). In contrast, postcode 0847 has a much higher proportion of people with no religion (50.6%) and recent overseas arrivals (40.0%). Postcode 0847 also sees far higher typical weekly family incomes ($1,375) compared to postcode 0822 ($833).

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked in different directions across several key measures. The gap in home ownership and monthly loan payments has widened, and the difference in unemployment rates has also grown. However, the gap in the share of people using another language at home and those identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander has narrowed. Despite these shifting trends, both areas remain very similar in their overall level of disadvantage and the number of people needing help with daily activities.
