Haasts Bluff Hermannsburg

Hermannsburg and Haasts Bluff are both remote areas in the Northern Territory with large First Nations populations. Hermannsburg is more developed, with a somewhat walkable layout where nearly all homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and parks. Haasts Bluff is car-dependent and more sparsely populated. There are stark differences in home life and work; Haasts Bluff has a much higher share of people in de facto relationships (21.1% compared to 0.8% in Hermannsburg) and far higher First Nations household incomes ($1,874 versus $959). Conversely, Hermannsburg has a much higher unemployment rate (26.1% versus 0.0% in Haasts Bluff) and more one-parent families.

Both areas are almost identical in the share of people who use a language other than English at home, which is around 89%. This commonality sits alongside a shared experience of very low First Nations Year 12 completion rates, both around 8%. While they share these traits, the two places differ in their school systems; Hermannsburg has much larger typical school sizes, while Haasts Bluff has far more schools per 1,000 children.
