0854, NT 0885, NT

Postcode 0854 and postcode 0885 are two Northern Territory areas with similar populations but very different profiles. Postcode 0854 has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 73.9%, compared to 5.5% in postcode 0885. There is also a stark contrast in income; the typical weekly household income in postcode 0885 is $3,333, which is far higher than the $1,301 seen in postcode 0854. This gap is consistent with education levels, as 53.5% of people in postcode 0885 completed Year 12, while only 20.3% did so in postcode 0854.

Both areas are almost identical in the share of people who speak little or no English. While they share some commonalities, such as similar rates of people in de facto relationships, many gaps have widened since 2011. This is especially true for weekly personal income, where the gap has grown to $1,451. Similarly, the difference in the share of adults working or looking for work has increased, with postcode 0885 remaining far higher at 76.0% compared to 39.5% in postcode 0854.
