0834, NT 0846, NT

Postcode 0834 and postcode 0846 are two different types of Northern Territory locations, separated by about 70km. Postcode 0834 is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $2,678 a week and 15.2% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 0846 is more sparsely populated and has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 26.2%. This area is also significantly older, with a typical resident aged 52 and a far higher share of people aged 65 and over (26.5%).

Since 2011, the gap between these two areas has widened across many measures, including typical incomes, education levels, and the share of residents with mortgages. Despite these diverging paths, they remain alike in some ways. Both have very similar rates of long-term health conditions (around 24%) and very few residents who speak little or no English. They also share a similar amount of walkable amenities per 1,000 residents, though these differ in type, with postcode 0834 focusing on public transport and postcode 0846 on parks and health services.
