Ludmilla - The Narrows Parap

Parap and Ludmilla - The Narrows are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different profiles. Parap is a walker's paradise, where 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools and public transport, and 38.8% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. In contrast, Ludmilla - The Narrows is more car-dependent and has a much higher First Nations population at 18.8%. Housing differs sharply; Parap is dominated by flats and apartments, while 70.3% of homes in Ludmilla - The Narrows are separate houses.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally widened. Parap has seen a far higher increase in overseas arrivals and people born overseas, while the difference in Year 12 completion and First Nations income has grown. Despite these shifting trends, the two areas remain effectively alike in some ways, such as having similar shares of people working full-time and almost identical proportions of residents aged 65 and over.
