Arumbera Kilgariff

Kilgariff and Arumbera are neighbouring areas in Alice Springs with very different profiles. Kilgariff is a wealthier area where the typical household income is $2,410 a week and 37.9% of homes earn over $3,000 weekly. It has a much older population, with 32.1% of people aged 65 and over and a higher share of residents born overseas (20.0%). In contrast, Arumbera has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 73.5% and a much higher share of one-parent families (33.7%). Income is far lower here, with a typical household earning $828 a week.

Both areas share the same school advantage score and the same number of schools within 3 km. They are also equally car-dependent, as no homes in either area are within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. This shared reliance on vehicles is consistent with the local layout, although Arumbera has a higher share of homes with no motor vehicle (31.9% compared to 12.1% in Kilgariff).
