Fly Creek Livingstone

Livingstone and Fly Creek are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory. They differ most in their economic profiles and home ownership. Typical weekly household income is well higher in Fly Creek at $2,687 compared to $1,875 in Livingstone. This is consistent with Fly Creek having a far higher share of adults working or looking for work (70.2% versus 55.6%) and a much higher typical personal income for First Nations residents ($949 compared to $350). Conversely, home ownership patterns vary, with homes owned outright far higher in Livingstone at 32.5% compared to 16.7% in Fly Creek.

These two areas share a very similar lifestyle, with almost identical house sizes and a similar share of renters. They are both car-dependent, as neither area has any walkable amenities. The gap in their typical household incomes has widened over time, as Fly Creek has moved further ahead of Livingstone. Both areas remain far below the national figure for people who speak another language at home.
