Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 18 km apart · Emungalan profile · Tindal profile

Emungalan Tindal

Tindal and Emungalan are two nearby areas in the Northern Territory with very different profiles. Tindal is a much younger area where the typical resident is 29 and 62.3% of people have served in the Defence Force, which helps explain why the typical weekly personal income is far higher at $1,513. In contrast, Emungalan has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 61.8% and a much higher share of people who speak a First Nations language (74.5%). The typical resident in Emungalan is older at 42, and the typical weekly personal income is much lower at $397.

Both areas share a total lack of walkability, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or public transport. This car-dependency is a common thread between them, though the two have diverged in other ways. While both are in the same region, Tindal has seen far more people move in over the last five years, and its residents are now far more likely to have completed Year 12 compared to those in Emungalan.
