Edith Nitmiluk

Nitmiluk and Edith (NT) are two small Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Nitmiluk has a much larger First Nations population (68.4%) and a far younger typical resident at 27. The area is marked by lower incomes, with a typical weekly personal income of $332, and a high proportion of renters (66.1%). In contrast, Edith (NT) is much older, with a typical age of 45, and higher wealth; the typical personal income is $990, and 58.8% of homes are owned outright.

Both areas share a similar share of people born overseas, which sits close to the national figure. They are also both entirely car-dependent, with no public transport options and no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries or health services. While Nitmiluk has a much higher rate of people using another language at home (64.2% compared to 3.2% in Edith (NT)), both are sparsely populated places where a similar number of people live alone.
