Suburb / Locality comparison ≈ 7.5 km apart · Hughes profile · Livingstone profile

Hughes Livingstone

Livingstone and Hughes (NT) are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory with very different demographics. Livingstone has a younger population, with a typical resident aged 40, and far more people in de facto relationships (20.7% compared to 8.9% in Hughes (NT)). It is also a more affluent area, where the typical weekly personal income is $927, while the figure in Hughes (NT) is $674. This higher income is reflected in the workforce, with 12.1% of Livingstone residents earning $2,000 or more a week, whereas no one in Hughes (NT) earns this amount.

Both areas share some basic characteristics, such as having an identical typical weekly household income of $1,875 and no public transport stops. However, a gap in home ownership has widened over time; 63.6% of homes in Hughes (NT) are owned outright, which is 31.1 percentage points higher than in Livingstone. This is consistent with the older age profile in Hughes (NT), where the typical resident is 48 and 17.8% of the population is aged 65 or over.
