0862, NT 0870, NT

Postcode 0870 and postcode 0862 are very different parts of the Northern Territory, separated by over 500 km. Postcode 0870 is a larger, more urban area where typical weekly family incomes are far higher at $2,507 compared to $866 in postcode 0862. Educational attainment is also much higher in postcode 0870, where 28.9% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, whereas only 7.9% do in postcode 0862. In contrast, postcode 0862 is far more likely to be home to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, who make up 51.5% of its population compared to 19.2% in postcode 0870.

The gap in typical family incomes has widened since 2011, though the difference in the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents has narrowed. Despite these trends, the two areas share some similarities, such as having almost identical proportions of people who live alone or speak little or no English. While life in postcode 0870 is more connected with a somewhat walkable score and plenty of public transport, postcode 0862 is mostly car-dependent and has no public transport stops.
