0837, NT 0839, NT

Postcode 0839 and postcode 0837 are two sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory with very different lifestyles. Postcode 0839 is a younger, more mobile community where the typical resident is 31, and 64.6% of people have moved in the last five years. It is a high-density area dominated by renters (70.6%) and apartments. In contrast, postcode 0837 is far older, with a typical age of 43, and is defined by separate houses (89.0%) and a higher rate of outright home ownership (33.6%).

These two areas are almost identical in their typical household incomes, which both sit around $1,420 a week. However, their surroundings differ greatly. Postcode 0839 is somewhat walkable, with most residents living within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Postcode 0837 is car-dependent, with almost no homes within walking distance of those same services. Since 2016, the gap in rental rates has widened, and the difference in the number of people born overseas has also grown.
