East Side Flynn

East Side and Flynn (NT) are neighbouring areas in Alice Springs with similar populations. The most striking difference is in local amenities; Flynn (NT) is far more walkable, with 79.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services compared to just 21.3% in East Side. East Side has a more highly qualified workforce, with 32.6% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, which is well higher than the 24.0% seen in Flynn (NT). This is consistent with more people in East Side earning $2,000 or more a week (14.8% versus 11.7%).

The gap in educational attainment has widened since 2011, but the two areas remain very similar in other ways. They share the same typical resident age of 33 and have nearly identical typical weekly household incomes. Both areas also have a high proportion of people who speak a First Nations language, which is far above the national figure. While Flynn (NT) has more detached houses, both areas have a much lower share of separate houses than most Australian suburbs.
