Katherine has a more qualified and wealthier population, with 23% of adults holding a bachelor degree and a typical weekly family income of $2,508. In contrast, Emungalan has a much larger First Nations population (61.8% compared to 21.5% in Katherine) and a typical weekly family income that is far lower at $1,145.
