Lyons Tiwi

Lyons (NT) and Tiwi are neighbouring areas with very different populations. Lyons (NT) is a young area where the typical resident is 30, and 28.7% of people are children under 15. It has a higher proportion of high earners, with 41.7% of households making $3,000 or more a week, and more residents have completed Year 12. In contrast, Tiwi is older, with a typical age of 40 and 19.6% of people aged 65 and over. Tiwi also has a higher share of people living alone (27.6%) and those with long-term health conditions (27.4%).

Everyday life in both places shares a similar climate and a strong connection to nature, with almost every home within a 15-minute walk of a park. They are also alike in the number of people who speak a First Nations language and the share of people with no religion. Over time, the gaps between the two have often widened. The difference in typical age has grown to 10 years, and the gap in Year 12 completion has more than doubled since 2011.
