Postcode comparison ≈ 213 km apart · 0837, NT profile · 0850, NT profile

0837, NT 0850, NT

Postcode 0850 and postcode 0837 are two different types of Northern Territory areas, separated by about 213 km. Postcode 0850 is a larger, more mobile community where 42.9% of people moved in the last five years and 20.0% are recent arrivals from overseas. It is also far more diverse, with 19.2% of residents using another language at home, compared to 5.1% in postcode 0837. Postcode 0850 is mostly car-dependent but has more local services, with 71.0% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school and 43.8% near groceries. In contrast, postcode 0837 is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with a much older typical age of 43 years and a higher rate of outright home ownership at 33.6%.

Many of these gaps have widened since 2011, particularly the difference in typical age, which grew from 5 to 10 years. Despite these drifting trends, the two areas remain alike in some ways. They share similar rates of volunteering and the same proportion of people living with a mental health condition. Both areas also have a high Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population compared to the national figure, although the gap between them has narrowed over the last decade.
