East Arnhem Ramingining

East Arnhem and Ramingining are both remote Northern Territory areas with very high Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. Ramingining is more concentrated, with 87% of homes within a 15-minute walk of schools, groceries, and health services, and a walkability score that is mostly car-dependent. In contrast, East Arnhem is more spread out and car-dependent, but it has a higher number of schools per 1,000 children. There are also notable social differences: East Arnhem has a much higher share of one-parent families at 42.2% and a higher unemployment rate of 29.5%, while Ramingining has a higher proportion of renters at 84.1%.

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining largely consistent in their core characteristics. They share very similar typical weekly household incomes, around $1,200, and nearly identical proportions of people aged 65 and over. They also both have high shares of people using a language other than English at home, which is well above the national figure.
