0837, NT 0838, NT

Postcode 0838 and postcode 0837 are two sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Postcode 0838 has a larger share of children under 15 (23.7% compared to 17.6%) and a higher typical household income of $2,183 per week, while postcode 0837's is $1,419. The two areas differ sharply in their transport and demographics: postcode 0837 has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (19.2% versus 8.5%) and much better access to public transport stops, whereas postcode 0838 has no public transport stops or departures at all.

These differences have become more pronounced, as the gap in typical household income has widened significantly since 2011. Both areas are nonetheless car-dependent and have similar rates of full-time employment and university qualifications. They also share a similar typical monthly mortgage payment of around $2,200, which sits near the national figure for overall advantage.
