Flynn Ross

Flynn (NT) and Ross are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Flynn (NT) is a younger, more urban place where the typical resident is 33 and 27.7% were born overseas. It is much more convenient for daily life, described as somewhat walkable, with 88.9% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Ross is car-dependent and has a much older population, with a typical age of 42. Residents in Ross are also more likely to own their homes outright, at 25.8% compared to 14.1% in Flynn (NT).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in some key ways. The gap in the number of children under 15 has widened, and more adults in Flynn (NT) are now working or looking for work compared to Ross. However, they remain very similar in other areas, such as their typical weekly family incomes, which both sit around $2,300 to $2,400, and their similar shares of First Nations residents.
