Weddell vs Daly

Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 156 km apart · Weddell profile · Daly profile

Weddell Daly

Daly and Weddell are two very different parts of the Northern Territory. Daly has a much stronger First Nations presence, with 69.2% of its population identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander compared to 9.7% in Weddell. This is reflected in language, with 58.0% of Daly residents using a language other than English at home, whereas only 6.2% do so in Weddell. Economic gaps are also wide; the typical weekly household income in Weddell is $1,969, which is far higher than the $1,182 seen in Daly.

Everyday life shares some similarities, as both areas have roughly the same percentage of people in de facto relationships and those providing unpaid care. They also both have very few homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and very few people using public transport to get to work. However, many gaps have widened since 2011, including the difference in typical personal incomes and the share of people with Year 12 qualifications.
