Anmatjere Yuendumu

Yuendumu and Anmatjere are two Northern Territory areas with very different layouts. Yuendumu is a concentrated hub where 99.5% of homes are within a short walk of schools and groceries, making it somewhat walkable. In contrast, Anmatjere is car-dependent and vast, with almost no homes within a 15-minute walk of a school. There are also sharp economic gaps; typical weekly household income is far higher in Yuendumu at $1,322 compared to $747 in Anmatjere. Yuendumu also has a far higher share of renters at 75%, while Anmatjere has a far higher First Nations unemployment rate of 56.9%.

Both areas share a very similar profile in many ways, including almost identical rates of people who speak little or no English and similar typical family incomes. They also share a high proportion of First Nations residents, both sitting far above the national figure. While they are alike in these areas, they have diverged in other ways; for example, the gap in people working from home has grown, with 24.4% doing so in Anmatjere compared to just 2.2% in Yuendumu.
