Barunga Jilkminggan

Barunga and Jilkminggan are two small Northern Territory areas located about 66km apart. Jilkminggan has much larger households, with a typical home holding 6.1 people compared to 3.8 in Barunga. This is consistent with Jilkminggan having far more homes with three or more bedrooms (89.7% versus 61.3%) and a far higher share of people with no religion (43.7% compared to 25.2%). In contrast, Barunga has far more one-parent families (39.2% compared to 20.9%) and a higher share of adults working or looking for work (32.4% compared to 22.1%).

Both areas are effectively alike in having no public transport routes or people working from home. They also share similar school advantage scores and a lack of homes owned by high-income earners. This shared experience of remote living is seen in both places, where the typical weekly rent remains far below the national figure.
