Baines Yarralin

Yarralin and Baines are two remote Northern Territory areas with similar populations, but they differ in their social and economic makeup. Yarralin has a much higher share of First Nations people at 88.3% compared to 64.4% in Baines. This is consistent with a much higher share of people in Yarralin who speak a First Nations language (97.2%) and use another language at home (85.2%). Yarralin also has a higher typical weekly household income at $1,321, while Baines is lower at $752. In contrast, Baines has a higher share of people who have completed Year 12 (34.6% vs 16.9%) and a higher rate of full-time employment.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very far above the national figure for First Nations populations. They share some common ground, such as similar typical family incomes and nearly identical rates of people born overseas. However, daily life differs in how people get around; 70.9% of homes in Yarralin have no motor vehicle, which is far higher than the 41.5% in Baines.
