Postcode comparison ≈ 158 km apart · 0836, NT profile · 0847, NT profile

0836, NT 0847, NT

Postcode 0836 and postcode 0847 are two very different Northern Territory areas located about 158 km apart. Postcode 0836 is a more populous area where typical weekly household income is far higher at $2,593, compared to $1,125 in postcode 0847. This gap in wealth is reflected in the housing and education data; postcode 0836 has a much higher share of people who finished Year 12 (43.1% versus 26.4%) and typical weekly rents are far higher at $400 compared to $120. In contrast, postcode 0847 has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (44.7% versus 8.0%) and recent overseas arrivals (40.0% versus 5.7%).

Everyday life shares some similarities in both places, as about the same proportion of people were born overseas (around 12%) and very few people speak little or no English. However, many trends are moving apart. The gaps in income and the number of adults working or looking for work have widened since 2011. While postcode 0847 has a far higher share of renters, this gap has actually narrowed over the last decade.
