Postcode comparison ≈ 43 km apart · 0841, NT profile · 0846, NT profile

0841, NT 0846, NT

Postcode 0841 and postcode 0846 are both sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Postcode 0841 is wealthier, with a typical weekly family income of $2,200 compared to $1,281 in postcode 0846. This is reflected in the home ownership patterns, as postcode 0841 has far more separate houses (98.6% versus 81.7%) and a much higher share of mortgages. In contrast, postcode 0846 has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (26.2% versus 9.7%) and is notably older, with 26.5% of people aged 65 and over compared to 15.5% in postcode 0841.

Both areas sit near the national figure for overall advantage, though postcode 0841 ranks higher. They share several traits, including very similar rates of people moving in the last five years (around 20%) and a total lack of public transport. However, the gap in typical family incomes has widened since 2011, and postcode 0841 has seen its lead in full-time employment grow during the same period.
