Tiwi Wagaman

Tiwi and Wagaman are neighbouring areas in Darwin with a few striking differences. Wagaman is far more culturally diverse, with 43.3% of people born overseas and 44.7% using a language other than English at home. In contrast, Tiwi has an older population—the typical resident is 40 compared to 35 in Wagaman—and a much higher share of people aged 65 and over (19.6% versus 11.6%). Tiwi also has a larger school presence, with more schools per 1,000 children and far more enrolments.

Both areas sit near the national average for overall advantage. They are also very similar in their share of First Nations residents (around 10%) and the typical weekly household income of about $2,000. While they share these traits, some gaps are widening; the difference in the proportion of overseas-born residents has grown since 2011, and the gap in typical age has also increased.
