Daly Waters Elliott

Elliott and Daly Waters are two remote Northern Territory locations with very different demographics. Elliott is a larger community where 85% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and it has a young population with children under 15 making up 27.9%. This is a contrast to Daly Waters, which is sparsely populated and has no Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. There is also a significant economic gap: the typical weekly personal income in Daly Waters is $1,021, which is far higher than the $302 seen in Elliott.

Both areas are remote and lack public transport, with no homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. While their profiles differ, they have tracked similarly since 2011 by remaining well below the national figure for adults with a university degree. Elliott is more walkable for daily needs, as 81.1% of homes are near groceries and 82.8% are near a school, whereas Daly Waters has no such amenities within a 15-minute walk.
