Blackmore vs Livingstone

Livingstone and Blackmore are two nearby areas in the Northern Territory, though they differ greatly in population. Livingstone is home to 443 people, while Blackmore is largely non-residential with no population. This difference is reflected in their layouts; Livingstone has far more street connectivity with one intersection per square kilometre, whereas Blackmore has none. Additionally, there are far more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Livingstone, with 26 residents compared to none in Blackmore.

Both areas are entirely car-dependent, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools, groceries, or health services. This lack of local amenities is common to both places. The gap in their street connectivity and population has remained consistent, as both areas continue to be sparsely developed.
