Finke Hugh

Finke and Hugh are two sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory, but they differ sharply in their social and home lives. Finke has a much younger population, with children under 15 making up 25.7% of residents, compared to just 5% in Hugh. Language and culture are also very different; 94.4% of people in Finke speak a First Nations language, while that figure is 10.4% in Hugh. Finke is also more likely to be a place of renters, with 87% of homes rented, whereas 25.5% of homes in Hugh are owned outright.

Both areas share some common ground, such as having very few people born overseas and almost no residents earning over $2,000 a week. They also both have exactly one school within 3 km. In terms of transport and layout, they are opposites: almost everyone in Finke walks to work and many homes have no car, while most people in Hugh rely on vehicles to get around.
