0840, NT 0841, NT

Postcode 0841 and postcode 0840 are both sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Postcode 0841 is notably wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $1,550 compared to $806 in postcode 0840. There are also stark differences in age and health; residents in postcode 0840 are far older, with a typical age of 60 and 39.2% aged 65 and over, whereas postcode 0841 has a typical age of 47 and 15.5% seniors. This higher age in postcode 0840 is consistent with a much higher share of people with a long-term health condition (38.5% against 23.6% in postcode 0841).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the proportion of people who have served in the Defence Force. They also share similar levels of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations and very low walkability. However, the gaps between them have often grown since 2011. The difference in typical age has widened to 13 years, and the gap in typical weekly household income has increased to $744.
