Statistical Area 2 (SA2) comparison ≈ 245 km apart · Anindilyakwa profile · Gulf profile

Anindilyakwa Gulf

Gulf and Anindilyakwa are both remote Northern Territory areas with very high First Nations populations, though Gulf is far larger in size. Gulf has a much higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 77.6%, compared to 61.9% in Anindilyakwa. Anindilyakwa is more affluent, with 20.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, while only 7.6% do in Gulf. Local languages are also more common in Anindilyakwa, where 95.5% of people speak a First Nations language, compared to 79.0% in Gulf.

Both areas have a similar share of children under 15, which sits close to the national figure at around 23%. They also share very low levels of overall advantage and similar typical weekly rents of around $75 to $80. Over time, some of the gaps between them are closing; the difference in the share of First Nations people has narrowed since 2011, as has the gap in the proportion of people who have moved in the last five years.
