Claravale Katherine

Katherine and Claravale are two very different Northern Territory locations. Katherine is a more populated hub where most homes are within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries and health services, making it somewhat walkable. Claravale is sparsely populated and car-dependent, with no such amenities nearby. There are also stark differences in household size and money; Claravale has a far higher typical weekly household income of $5,500 and far more people per home (6.0) compared to Katherine's $2,053 and 2.3 people per home.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011 in that they both lack any homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport. This shared lack of transit options persists despite Katherine having more schools and a larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. While Katherine's typical resident is 34, Claravale is noticeably younger with a typical age of 30.
