0837, NT 0886, NT

Postcode 0886 and postcode 0837 are two small populations in the Northern Territory with very different profiles. Postcode 0886 is a younger area where the typical resident is 34, and it has a high proportion of renters at 68.3%. This area is also more qualified and higher earning, with a typical weekly income of $1,268 and 19.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 0837 is far older, with a typical age of 43 and 16.2% of people aged 65 and over. It is a place of homeowners, with 33.6% owning their home outright, and a typical weekly income that is much lower at $736.

Both areas are similar in their overall advantage scores, which sit just below the national figure. They also share very similar rates of one-parent families and people providing unpaid care. While they share these traits, the gap in resident ages has widened since 2011, and the difference in home ownership has also grown.
