Beswick Venn

Beswick and Venn are two distinct areas in the Northern Territory. Beswick is a young community where 95% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and the typical resident is just 27. It has a much higher share of children under 15 (27.3%) and larger homes with 5.4 people per household. In contrast, Venn is far more diverse, with 38.1% of people born overseas and a typical resident who is 35. Typical weekly family income is much higher in Venn at $2,457, compared to $661 in Beswick.

Both areas are equally isolated from urban conveniences, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport or a park. They also share similar rates of volunteering. Outside of these similarities, the two places differ across almost every measure, from the 73% of Venn workers in agriculture to the high number of people in Beswick who provide unpaid care for children (71.5%).
