Haasts Bluff Yuendumu

Yuendumu and Haasts Bluff are both remote Northern Territory areas with very high proportions of First Nations language speakers. Yuendumu is the larger community, and it is somewhat walkable, with nearly all homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services. Haasts Bluff is much smaller and car-dependent. The two areas differ significantly in their household and economic profiles; for example, First Nations household income is far higher in Haasts Bluff ($1,874) compared to Yuendumu ($1,012), while unemployment is far higher in Yuendumu (17.5%) than in Haasts Bluff (0.0%).

While they share very similar typical weekly personal incomes of around $270, the gap in their walkability is wide. This difference in accessibility is consistent with the way the two areas are built, as Yuendumu has many more amenity types within a short walk. Other disparities, such as the 15-point gap in people in de facto relationships and the 24-point gap in people who speak little or no English, highlight distinct social compositions across the 134 km separating them.
