0862, NT 0874, NT

Postcode 0862 and postcode 0874 are two very different Northern Territory locations. Postcode 0862 is a sparsely populated area where 51.5% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and many work in agriculture. In contrast, postcode 0874 is far more urban, with 54% of residents born overseas and a typical weekly family income of $3,374, which is far higher than the $866 seen in postcode 0862. Education levels also differ sharply; 42.1% of adults in postcode 0874 hold a bachelor degree or higher, compared with just 7.9% in postcode 0862.

The gap in typical family incomes has widened since 2016, but the two areas share some common ground. Both have the same proportion of children under 15, at 19.9%, and both have very similar rates of people needing help with daily activities. They also both lack any public transport stops per 1,000 people. While postcode 0874 is much more likely to have residents working or looking for work, both areas have a similar share of people who speak little or no English.
