Arumbera Connellan

Connellan and Arumbera are two nearby areas in Alice Springs with very different social and economic profiles. Arumbera has a much larger First Nations population (73.5%) compared to Connellan (6.2%), and it is far more linguistically diverse, with 53.3% of residents using a language other than English at home. Wealth and education also differ sharply; Connellan has a typical weekly household income of $2,611 and 20.3% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher, while Arumbera's typical household income is $828 and only 9.3% of adults have a degree.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people who need help with daily activities. They are also alike in that no one uses public transport to commute, and both are car-dependent with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While Connellan is far older with a typical resident aged 48, Arumbera's typical resident is 38, which is about the same as the national figure.
