Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 189 km apart · Arnold profile · Elliott profile

Arnold Elliott

Elliott and Arnold are both small Northern Territory localities, but they differ sharply in their social and economic make-up. Elliott is much more culturally diverse, with 85% of residents identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 32.8% using a language other than English at home. It is also a much younger place, where 27.9% of people are children under 15, compared to just 4% in Arnold. In contrast, Arnold has significantly higher incomes, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,375, while the typical person in Elliott earns $302.

These two areas have remained quite distinct over time, though a gap in education has shifted as Elliott now has a far higher share of people who completed Year 12. They do share a similar age profile, with the typical resident in both places being 28. Both areas are also very remote, as they are effectively car-dependent and have no public transport stops. This lack of transport is consistent with the national figure for very remote areas.
