Larrakeyah Parap

Larrakeyah and Parap are neighbouring areas in Darwin with distinct characters. Parap is a walker's paradise, where every home is within a 15-minute walk of a school, groceries and public transport. In contrast, Larrakeyah is very walkable but has fewer amenities nearby; for example, only 63.1% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries. Larrakeyah also has a stronger military connection, with 13.5% of residents having served in the Defence Force, compared to 5.7% in Parap.

These two neighbours are very similar in many ways, including having nearly identical typical weekly household incomes of around $2,300 and a shared overall advantage score that sits near the national average. While they share these core similarities, other gaps are shifting. The difference in the number of children under 15 has narrowed since 2011, but the gap in the typical age of residents has widened, with Parap now noticeably older.
