Malak - Marrara Wagaman

Malak - Marrara and Wagaman are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different profiles. Wagaman is a walker's paradise, where every home is within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, and schools. It is also far more diverse, with 43.3% of people born overseas and 44.7% using another language at home. In contrast, Malak - Marrara has a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 19.1% and more public transport options, with far more stops per 1,000 people.

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, as they have the same share of children under 15 (20.4%) and nearly identical typical weekly rents around $340 to $350. They also both have a similar drive time to the city of about 13 to 14 minutes. While they share these basics, some gaps are widening; the difference in the share of people born overseas has grown since 2011, and the gap in First Nations population has also increased.
