Postcode comparison ≈ 22 km apart · 0850, NT profile · 0853, NT profile

0850, NT 0853, NT

Postcode 0850 and postcode 0853 are two nearby Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Postcode 0850 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (27.6% compared to 4.4%) and a higher share of people using another language at home (19.2% versus 4.8%). It also has far more one-parent families, at 17.9% compared to just 3.0% in postcode 0853. In contrast, postcode 0853 is dominated by Defence Force personnel, with 62.3% of residents having served, compared to 5.2% in postcode 0850. Postcode 0853 also sees much higher rates of people who have moved in the last five years (87.0%) and those with Year 12 qualifications (69.8% versus 43.1%).

The gap in the number of people who have moved in the last five years has widened since 2011, reflecting the transient nature of postcode 0853. Both areas share a similar proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (around 18%) and the same level of recent overseas arrivals (20%). They are also alike in their lack of public transport, with no stops or departures per 1,000 people in either area. While postcode 0850 is more walkable for groceries and health services, both areas have a high share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park.
