Brinkin Nakara

Nakara and Brinkin are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different housing styles. Nakara is dominated by separate houses, with 91.7% of homes being detached and 89.2% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Brinkin has far more townhouses and semi-detached homes (45.9%) and far fewer large houses. Nakara is a walker's paradise with a score of 8.1, while Brinkin is somewhat walkable at 5.5. Other key differences include a higher share of people speaking a First Nations language in Nakara (24.2% compared to 11.9% in Brinkin) and a higher share of adults with bachelor degrees in Brinkin (48.8% compared to 36.7% in Nakara).

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over, at around 13% to 14%. They also share a similar proportion of overseas-born residents and very similar typical weekly household incomes. While they are alike in these ways, the gap in their housing types has remained a stark divide. Both areas have seen their shares of recent overseas arrivals stay well above the national average, though this is far higher in Brinkin at 33.1%.
