Belyuen Larrakeyah

Belyuen and Larrakeyah are two nearby Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Belyuen is an Aboriginal community where 100% of the population is First Nations, and 80% of residents speak a First Nations language. In contrast, Larrakeyah is a diverse area where 36% of people were born overseas and only 2.9% are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. There are also stark gaps in income and education; the typical weekly household income in Larrakeyah is $2,372, which is far higher than the $680 typical income in Belyuen. While 69.3% of Larrakeyah residents finished Year 12, that figure is just 5.5% in Belyuen.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for the share of people caring for children unpaid, at around 21%. Apart from this, they differ in almost every other way. Belyuen has far more detached houses and a much higher share of homes with no motor vehicle. Larrakeyah is more walkable, with most homes within a 15-minute walk of a park, school, or groceries.
