0847, NT 0852, NT

Postcode 0852 and postcode 0847 are two remote areas of the Northern Territory with very different profiles. Postcode 0852 is a much larger population centre with a younger feel, where the typical resident is 28 and 68.3% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. In contrast, residents are far older in postcode 0847, with a typical age of 36. Postcode 0852 also has a far higher share of people using another language at home (62.9%) and more people caring for children unpaid (44.5%), while postcode 0847 has a far higher share of people who claim no religion (50.6%).

Both areas are similarly ranked as having very low overall advantage. They are also alike in the proportion of people who have moved in the last five years and those who need help with daily activities. While the two places share these similarities, some gaps are shifting; for example, the difference in typical weekly family income has narrowed, and the gap in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has also closed since 2011.
