Arumbera Ilparpa

Ilparpa and Arumbera are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory with very different social and economic profiles. Arumbera has a much larger First Nations population at 73.5%, compared to 25.3% in Ilparpa. This is reflected in language use, with 53.3% of Arumbera residents using another language at home, which is far higher than the 20.3% in Ilparpa. There is also a significant gap in typical incomes; the usual household earns $2,048 a week in Ilparpa, while in Arumbera it is much lower at $828.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with the gap in typical household income widening.
