Amoonguna vs Hugh

Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 51 km apart · Amoonguna profile · Hugh profile

Amoonguna Hugh

Hugh and Amoonguna are two Northern Territory areas with very different household structures. Amoonguna is much more family-oriented, with 27.9% of people being children under 15 compared to just 5.0% in Hugh. This is consistent with Amoonguna having far more large homes and a typical household size of 4.0 people, while Hugh has far more people living alone at 38.2%. Language and culture also differ, with 67.6% of people in Amoonguna speaking a First Nations language, far higher than the 10.4% in Hugh.

These two areas are almost identical in the proportion of people aged 65 and over, which sits around 4%. They also share very similar typical weekly incomes of around $800 and a lack of nearby public transport. While both have high First Nations populations, the gap in the number of people using another language at home remains far higher in Amoonguna. This difference, alongside the gap in people caring for children unpaid, has remained significant over time.
