Farrar Gray

Gray (NT) and Farrar are neighbouring areas in Palmerston with very different profiles. Gray (NT) is more walkable and has a larger First Nations population at 21.2%, while Farrar is more affluent, with a typical weekly household income of $2,573 compared to $1,479 in Gray (NT). Housing also differs sharply; Farrar has far more separate houses (78.8%) and larger homes, while Gray (NT) has a higher share of flats and apartments. This is consistent with Gray (NT) being a very walkable area where 100% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

These two areas have tracked differently since 2011, as Farrar has seen a far higher increase in people moving in over the last five years. Despite this, they share similar proportions of people born overseas and a nearly identical percentage of residents aged 65 and over. Both areas also have similar levels of unpaid care and housework, and both sit around the same distance from the city in terms of travel time.
