Koolpinyah vs East Arnhem

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 481 km apart · Koolpinyah profile · East Arnhem profile

Koolpinyah East Arnhem

East Arnhem and Koolpinyah are very different places located nearly 500km apart. East Arnhem has a young population with a typical age of 28, and children under 15 make up 24.3% of residents. It is also an area where 91.1% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 90.7% use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Koolpinyah is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical age of 65 and no children under 15.

Since 2011, the gaps between the two areas have shifted in various ways. While the difference in the number of children has narrowed, the age gap has widened, and the gap in the number of adults working or looking for work has grown significantly. Both areas share similar hot climates and are largely car-dependent, with neither having any homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport.
