Beswick Creek Mataranka

Mataranka and Beswick Creek are two remote Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Mataranka is more established, with 384 people and a walkability score of 2.7 (mostly car-dependent), while Beswick Creek is sparsely populated with only 16 residents and is car-dependent. A significant gap exists in wealth, with typical weekly family income far higher in Beswick Creek at $3,250 compared to $1,562 in Mataranka. Residents are also far older in Mataranka, where the typical age is 38, compared to 28 in Beswick Creek.

Everyday life in both places shares some similarities, such as typical weekly personal incomes that are almost identical at around $700. They also both lack access to public transport, with no stops or routes in either area. These similarities exist alongside a sharp contrast in layout; over half of Mataranka's homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, while Beswick Creek has no homes within that distance.
