Leanyer Tiwi

Leanyer and Tiwi are neighbouring areas in Darwin with different profiles. Tiwi has much better access to essential services, with almost all homes within a 15-minute walk of a school or health clinic. It also has far more public transport stops and more frequent departures. In contrast, Leanyer is a more affluent area; typical First Nations personal incomes are far higher there, at $904 compared to $482 in Tiwi. Leanyer also has a higher share of households earning $3,000 or more a week.

Both areas are similar in their connection to the rest of Australia, with about 31% of residents born overseas, which is close to the national figure.
