0847, NT 0880, NT

Postcode 0880 and postcode 0847 are two very different parts of the Northern Territory. Postcode 0880 is a busier area where people generally earn more, with a typical household income of $2,406 compared to $1,125 in postcode 0847. It also has a more qualified workforce, with 16.0% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher compared to just 3.1% in postcode 0847. In contrast, postcode 0847 is sparsely populated and has a much older feel, with 15.1% of residents aged 65 and over compared to only 4.3% in postcode 0880.

Since 2011, these two areas have drifted further apart in many ways. The gap in typical personal incomes and the share of university graduates have both widened. However, they share some common ground; both have virtually no public transport and very similar rates of unemployment and mental health conditions. They also both sit at the lowest possible level for general access to money and resources.
