Elsey Limmen

Limmen and Elsey are two remote areas in the Northern Territory with very different profiles. Limmen is home to 203 people and has a young population, with a typical age of 31. In contrast, Elsey is sparsely populated with just 12 people, and its residents are far older, with a typical age of 55. There is also a large gap in income; the typical personal weekly income in Elsey is $887, which is far higher than the $249 found in Limmen.

Both areas are completely car-dependent and lack any walkable amenities or public transport. This shared reliance on cars is a defining feature of life in both places.
