Coolalinga Girraween

Girraween (NT) and Coolalinga are neighbouring areas with very different lifestyles. Girraween (NT) is a wealthier, older area where most people live in detached houses and earn a typical weekly household income of $2,992. In contrast, Coolalinga is much younger and more transient, with 64.6% of residents moving in the last five years and a typical weekly household income of $1,426. While Girraween (NT) is dominated by homeowners and larger families, Coolalinga has a far higher share of renters at 70.6% and many more people living alone.

Both areas are very similar in the share of people working from home and the number of people who need help with daily activities. This shared local experience exists alongside a stark divide in how people get around. Coolalinga is highly walkable, with 98.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of a "15-minute-city" walkshed. Girraween (NT) is far more car-dependent, with no homes meeting that same standard and a much longer walk to the nearest transport stop.
