Driver Woodroffe

Woodroffe and Driver are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory with very different layouts. Woodroffe has a far higher share of separate houses (80.6%) and more homes with three or more bedrooms. Driver is more varied, with a far higher share of flats or apartments (28.1% more than Woodroffe) and significantly more public transport options, including far more stops and weekly departures. Education and health access also differ; while all Woodroffe homes are within a 15-minute walk of a school, 81% of Driver homes are within reach of health services, compared to just 43.9% in Woodroffe.

These two areas share a very similar profile in many ways, with the same typical resident age of 33 and almost identical typical weekly household incomes of around $1,900. However, some gaps have widened since 2011. Driver has seen a growing lead in the share of people born overseas and those with bachelor degrees. Woodroffe has a higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (18.4%), a gap that has also increased over the last decade.
