Elliott Larrimah

Elliott (NT) and Larrimah are two very different remote Northern Territory locations. Elliott (NT) is a much younger area, where 27.9% of people are children and the typical resident is just 28. It has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 85.0%, and 32.8% of residents use a language other than English at home. In contrast, Larrimah is more sparsely populated and far older, with a typical age of 37 and nearly 30% of residents aged 65 and over. Larrimah also has a much higher share of people born overseas (29.6%) and significantly higher typical weekly household incomes, which are $1,874 compared to $1,093 in Elliott (NT).

These gaps in age and income have remained stark over time. Both areas are similar in their lack of public transport and 15-minute-city walkability, as neither has any homes within a short walk of health services. However, Elliott (NT) is more established in its layout, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of parks, schools and groceries than Larrimah.
