Casuarina Muirhead

Muirhead and Casuarina (NT) are neighbouring areas with very different characters. Muirhead is a family-focused area where 28.5% of people are children under 15 and 39.2% are caring for children unpaid. It is dominated by detached houses, with a typical weekly income of $1,383. In contrast, Casuarina (NT) is a highly international hub where 77.3% of people were born overseas and 74.4% use a language other than English at home. Most residents there live in flats or apartments and have a lower typical weekly income of $618.

Both areas share a very small population of older residents, with people aged 65 and over making up just 2% of the population in each. They also both provide total coverage for residents wanting a park within a 15-minute walk. While Muirhead has a higher share of full-time workers, Casuarina (NT) has far more public transport options and a higher proportion of people with bachelor degrees.
