Postcode comparison ≈ 211 km apart · 0850, NT profile · 0886, NT profile

0850, NT 0886, NT

Postcode 0850 and postcode 0886 are two Northern Territory areas located about 211 km apart with very different housing and amenity profiles. Postcode 0850 has far more separate houses (75.0%) and larger homes, with 69.9% having three or more bedrooms. Rent is also far higher there, with a typical weekly cost of $330 compared to just $65 in postcode 0886. In contrast, postcode 0886 is more walkable, with 68.8% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and a far higher share of people living alone (35.9%).

Both areas sit around the national figure for the share of people living alone. They are also very similar in their populations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (around 27%) and their typical weekly household incomes, which are just over $2,000. While the gap in rental rates has narrowed since 2011, the difference in typical rent and the share of large homes has widened over the same period.
