Bakewell Palmerston - South

Palmerston - South and Bakewell are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory with very different profiles. Palmerston - South is a growing hub for families, with 87.8% of homes having three or more bedrooms and 32.4% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. It is much more likely for residents there to have completed Year 12 (67.3%) and for homes to be separate houses (81.3%). In contrast, Bakewell has a higher share of people living alone (26.1%) and a greater number of flats or apartments. The two areas also differ in accessibility; Bakewell is more walkable, while residents in Palmerston - South face a much longer walk to the nearest transport stop.

Since 2011, the gap between the two has often widened, particularly regarding income, education and the types of housing. Despite these diverging trends, they share a similar daily rhythm in some ways. Both have roughly the same number of schools within 3 km and almost identical proportions of people who work from home or need help with daily activities. They also both sit well below the national figure for the typical age of residents, reflecting the overall youth of the region.
