0847, NT 0885, NT

Postcode 0885 and postcode 0847 are two very different parts of the Northern Territory. Postcode 0885 is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $3,333 a week, and 24.6% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. It has a much younger population, with 33.3% of people under 15. In contrast, postcode 0847 has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 44.7%, and a lower typical household income of $1,125. It also has a larger share of older residents, with 15.1% aged 65 and over.

Everyday life shares some similarities in both places, such as a lack of public transport and similar walkability scores. They also have almost the same typical monthly home-loan payment of $1,083. However, many gaps between them have grown since 2011. This includes the difference in typical incomes, the share of people with university degrees, and the percentage of children under 15, which is now far higher in postcode 0885.
