Lyons Wulagi

Lyons (NT) and Wulagi are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different profiles. Lyons (NT) is a more highly qualified and wealthier area, where 36.2% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and 41.7% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. It is also more diverse, with 37.3% of people born overseas and 37.8% using another language at home. Wulagi has a much higher First Nations population, at 14.6%, and a higher share of homes owned outright (22.8%).

Everyday life in both places shares many similarities, from nearly identical average temperatures and rainfall to the fact that almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park. However, some gaps are widening. Since 2011, the difference in overseas births, language use, and university qualifications has grown, with these figures remaining far higher in Lyons (NT). Wulagi offers better access to transport, with a 2-minute walk to the nearest stop compared to 18 minutes in Lyons (NT).
