0852, NT vs 0860, NT

Postcode comparison ≈ 450 km apart · 0852, NT profile · 0860, NT profile

0852, NT 0860, NT

Postcode 0852 and postcode 0860 are two distinct Northern Territory areas located about 450km apart. Postcode 0852 has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (68.3%) and more people using another language at home (62.9%). It is also a place with more crowded housing, with a gap of 0.6 people per bedroom over postcode 0860. In contrast, postcode 0860 has a far higher typical weekly family income of $1,433 compared to $756 in postcode 0852, and a much higher share of people born overseas (15.0%).

Both areas are effectively alike in their lack of public transport, with neither having any stops or departures per 1,000 people. This shared reliance on other transport comes while they both sit near the national figure for people providing unpaid care. Over time, the gaps between them have shifted; while the difference in the proportion of Indigenous residents has narrowed, the gap in typical weekly incomes has widened since 2011.
