0847, NT 0886, NT

Postcode 0886 and postcode 0847 are both sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Postcode 0886 is wealthier and more professional, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,268 and 19.8% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, postcode 0847 has a typical personal income of $459 and only 3.1% of adults with a degree. Postcode 0847 also has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 44.7%, compared to 27.4% in postcode 0886.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in many ways, though the gap in the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has narrowed. They still share a similar experience of daily life, as both are mostly car-dependent and have very few people who speak little or no English. While postcode 0886 has seen more people moving in over the last five years, both areas sit at the lowest possible level for access to money and resources.
