Blackmore vs Charlotte

Charlotte and Blackmore are both sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Charlotte has a small population of 19 people, while Blackmore is largely non-residential with no recorded residents. This means Charlotte has a far larger number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with four residents, compared to none in Blackmore. The land in Charlotte is also a little steeper, with a mean terrain slope of 4.3% compared to 2.6% in Blackmore.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of shops, health services, parks, or schools. This total lack of local amenities is a defining feature for both places. While Charlotte has a tiny population and Blackmore has none, they both share this same level of isolation from public transport and urban services.
