Belyuen Dundee Forest

Dundee Forest and Belyuen are both sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Belyuen is a First Nations community where every resident identifies as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and 80.5% use another language at home. In contrast, Belyuen has a much younger population with a typical age of 32, while Dundee Forest is far older with a typical resident aged 56. This age gap is reflected in the homes; Dundee Forest has far more people living alone (48.5%) and a higher share of homes owned outright (45.5%), while Belyuen is dominated by renters (95.7%) and larger households.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 as car-dependent locations with no public transport and no homes within walking distance of shops or schools. They also share very low typical incomes that sit far below the national figure. However, they differ sharply in transport; 84.6% of Belyuen homes have no motor vehicle, while Dundee Forest residents are far more likely to own multiple cars.
