Black Jungle Howard Springs

Black Jungle and Howard Springs are two nearby areas in the Northern Territory with very different levels of development. Black Jungle is sparsely populated with no residents, whereas Howard Springs is home to 3,153 people. Because of this, Howard Springs has significantly more infrastructure, including 10 schools compared to none in Black Jungle, and a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Howard Springs also has more public transport, with 19 stops and 6 routes, while Black Jungle has none.

Everyday life in both places is largely car-dependent. This is seen in the walkability scores, which are car-dependent for both areas, and the fact that almost no homes in either place are within a 15-minute walk of health services. While Howard Springs has more amenities, both areas have very few homes within a 15-minute walk of a 15-minute-city walkshed.
