Postcode comparison ≈ 549 km apart · 0841, NT profile · 6740, WA profile

0841, NT 6740, WA

Postcode 6740 and postcode 0841 are two small, far-apart areas with very different profiles. Postcode 6740 has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 61.2% and a much younger population, with a typical resident aged 34. In contrast, residents in postcode 0841 are far older, with a typical age of 47. There is also a stark economic divide: the typical weekly family income in postcode 0841 is $2,200, which is far higher than the $951 found in postcode 6740.

Both areas are effectively alike in the number of people who speak little or no English. While they share this trait, other gaps have widened since 2011, such as the difference in typical income and the share of people who do not identify with a religion. Life also differs in how people get around; postcode 6740 is mostly car-dependent but far more likely to have homes within a 15-minute walk of a park or school, while postcode 0841 is completely car-dependent.
