Alawa vs Anula

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 2.3 km apart · Alawa profile · Anula profile

Alawa Anula

Anula and Alawa are neighbouring areas in Darwin with similar populations, yet they differ in their makeup and housing. Alawa is far more diverse, with 38.0% of people born overseas and 34.5% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Anula has a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 13.1% and a larger proportion of spacious homes, with 96.3% having three or more bedrooms. Anula also has more separate houses and a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have shifted, with Alawa seeing a widening lead in overseas births and university qualifications. Despite these shifts, they remain alike in many ways, such as having almost identical numbers of businesses and the same typical number of people per home. Both areas also sit near the national figure for the percentage of people who need help with daily activities.
