0845, NT 0853, NT

Postcode 0853 and postcode 0845 are two sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. They differ sharply in their demographics and wealth. Postcode 0853 is a young area with a typical resident aged 29, where 69.8% of people finished Year 12 and typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $2,865. In contrast, residents in postcode 0845 are far older, with a typical age of 45 and a much lower typical weekly household income of $900. Postcode 0853 also has a very high proportion of former Defence Force members at 62.3%, compared to 4.4% in postcode 0845.

Both areas are almost identical in their lack of public transport, with no stops or departures per 1,000 people. This shared car-dependency exists despite other gaps widening over time. For example, the difference in typical income has grown, and the gap in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations has increased, with postcode 0845 now at 30.1% compared to 4.4% in postcode 0853.
