Kundat Djaru Tanami

Tanami (NT) and Kundat Djaru are both sparsely populated areas, but they differ sharply in demographics and wealth. Kundat Djaru is much younger, with a typical resident aged 23 compared to 42 in Tanami (NT), and has a far higher share of children under 15 at 28.4%. There is also a vast gap in typical weekly incomes, which are far higher in Tanami (NT) at $2,172 compared to just $265 in Kundat Djaru. This is consistent with the workforce; mining is a major employer in Tanami (NT), while education and retail are more common in Kundat Djaru.

Both areas are completely car-dependent and lack basic amenities within a 15-minute walk. This shared isolation is mirrored in other areas of life, as both places report no one working from home and no residents with a mental health condition. While they share these basic patterns, the distance between them is highlighted by their different populations, with Kundat Djaru having a far higher share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at 89.4%.
