Coolalinga Johnston

Johnston and Coolalinga are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory with very different profiles.

It is also wealthier, with 26.5% of households earning $3,000 or more a week, compared to just 4.6% in Coolalinga. Homes in Johnston are more likely to be separate houses (57.8%) with three or more bedrooms (74.5%), while Coolalinga has more flats and apartments.

They share some common ground, such as similar proportions of people born overseas (around 24%) and very similar unemployment rates. Both areas also have residents who are noticeably younger than the national figure, though the gap in age and household income between them remains significant.
