0839, NT 0845, NT

Postcode 0839 and postcode 0845 are two sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory with very different profiles. Postcode 0839 is a young, mobile hub where the typical resident is 31 and 24.3% were born overseas. It is a high-rental area where typical weekly incomes are $943. In contrast, postcode 0845 is much older, with a typical age of 45, and has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 30.1%. Weekly incomes here are far lower, typically $542, and the area is dominated by separate houses, which make up 80.4% of homes.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion, at around 41%. While they share similar numbers for full-time employment and typical home size, they have drifted apart in other ways. The gap in typical incomes has widened since 2016, as has the difference in the number of people born overseas. Postcode 0839 has become increasingly distinct as a transit-oriented area with high overseas arrivals, while postcode 0845 remains more residential and remote.
