0829, NT 0839, NT

Postcode 0829 and postcode 0839 are neighbouring areas in the Greater Darwin region with very different profiles. Postcode 0829 is a larger area where 48.0% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 28.0% have served in the Defence Force. It has more people owning their homes outright (39.8%) and more high-earning households, with 16.7% making $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, postcode 0839 is much more diverse and transient, with 24.3% of residents born overseas and 64.6% having moved in the last five years. It is also more family-oriented, with 15.9% of the population being children under 15, compared to just 2.6% in postcode 0829.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways, such as the growing gap in the share of people born overseas and those using another language at home. Despite these shifting trends, they share some fundamental similarities. Residents in both areas have the same typical age of 31, and typical weekly household incomes are almost identical, at $1,412 in postcode 0829 and $1,426 in postcode 0839.
