Elsey Ngukurr

Ngukurr and Elsey are two very different places in the Northern Territory. Ngukurr is a larger settlement where the typical resident is just 25, and homes are crowded with an average of 5.5 people per dwelling. In contrast, Elsey is sparsely populated and much older, with a typical resident aged 55. There is also a large divide in income; the usual weekly personal income in Elsey is $887, which is far higher than the $230 typical for Ngukurr.

Since 2011, the age gap between the two has remained wide. They do share some similarities, such as having no homes within a 10-minute walk of public transport and typical household incomes that are relatively close. While Ngukurr has a mostly car-dependent walkability score and a range of nearby shops and health services, Elsey is completely car-dependent with no such amenities within a 15-minute walk.
