Bellamack Wickham

Bellamack and Wickham (NT) are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Bellamack is a residential hub where people are generally younger, with a typical age of 29. Residents there live in larger households, usually with 2.9 people per home, and the typical weekly household income is $2,331. In contrast, Wickham (NT) is sparsely populated and largely non-residential. It is much older, with a typical resident aged 48, and has a typical weekly household income of just $75.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, particularly regarding their infrastructure and layout. Bellamack is somewhat walkable and well connected to public transport and schools, while Wickham (NT) is car-dependent. However, they are effectively alike in that almost no homes in either area are within a 15-minute walk of groceries.
