0850, NT 0885, NT

Postcode 0850 and postcode 0885 are two very different parts of the Northern Territory. Postcode 0850 is much more culturally diverse, with a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (27.6% compared to 5.5%) and people using another language at home (19.2% compared to 8.3%). In contrast, postcode 0885 is wealthier; the typical household income is far higher at $3,333 per week, while postcode 0850 is $2,027. Families in postcode 0885 also tend to be larger and younger, with children under 15 making up 33.3% of the population compared to 22.0% in postcode 0850.

Everyday life shares some similarities in both places, such as the typical number of people per home, which is about 2.7 or 2.8. Both areas also lack public transport, with no stops or departures for residents. While they share these traits, the gap in income and the share of people earning $2,000 or more a week has narrowed since 2011. However, other differences have grown over time, such as the gap in the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.
