Daly Waters Miniyeri

Miniyeri and Daly Waters are two distinct Northern Territory locations with very different demographic profiles. Miniyeri is a young community where 92.8% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and children under 15 make up 29.8% of the population. Homes there are often crowded, with a typical 6.1 people per house, and most residents use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Daly Waters is sparsely populated and has no Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. It is an older area where the typical resident is 33, and typical weekly personal incomes are far higher at $1,021, compared to $237 in Miniyeri.

These two areas have tracked against each other since 2011 by maintaining a stark divide in their social and economic makeup. They share some similarities, such as having no public transport stops and very few residents with a bachelor degree. Both areas also sit well below the national figure for people who completed Year 12. While Daly Waters has more people born overseas and more residents who have moved recently, both places remain remote settlements with very low rates of university education.
