Flynn The Gap

The Gap (NT) and Flynn (NT) are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. The Gap (NT) is a more populous area with a higher proportion of people born overseas (38.8%) and a significantly more qualified workforce, where 36.1% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. This helps explain the higher typical weekly household income of $1,953. In contrast, Flynn (NT) is sparsely populated and has a much stronger First Nations identity, with 92.4% of its residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Homes in Flynn (NT) are more likely to be separate houses (83.3%) and have a much lower typical weekly rent of $90.

These two areas share a similar age profile for their First Nations residents, who typically aged 30 in both places. They also have nearly identical average school sizes. However, a gap in education is widening between them, as 59.4% of people in The Gap (NT) completed Year 12 compared to just 5.2% in Flynn (NT).
