0839, NT 0846, NT

Postcode 0839 and postcode 0846 are two sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory with very different profiles. Postcode 0839 is a young area where the typical resident is 31, and it has a high share of renters (70.6%) and people born overseas (24.3%). In contrast, residents are far older in postcode 0846, with a typical age of 52 and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (26.5%). This area is also more likely to have homes owned outright (45.0%) and a higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (26.2%).

Both areas are similar in their overall advantage scores, which sit slightly below the national figure. However, other gaps have grown since 2016. The difference in typical weekly income has narrowed, while the gap in the proportion of people born overseas has widened. Postcode 0839 remains far more connected, with more public transport and a much shorter drive to the city than postcode 0846.
