Adelaide River Burrundie

Burrundie and Adelaide River are two different types of sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Burrundie is largely non-residential with only 8 people, while Adelaide River has 317 residents. There is a huge gap in wealth; the typical family income in Burrundie is $5,499 a week, which is far higher than the $1,281 seen in Adelaide River. In contrast, Adelaide River has much more local infrastructure, with 52% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a park and 49.1% near a school, while Burrundie has none of these.

Both areas are effectively identical in that no homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport or part of a 15-minute-city walkshed. This lack of transit is consistent with their walkability scores, as both are car-dependent. While residents in Adelaide River are noticeably older, with a typical age of 52 compared to 45 in Burrundie, the two areas remain distinct in their makeup. For example, there are far more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Adelaide River.
