Hughes Noonamah

Noonamah and Hughes (NT) are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory with very different household profiles. Noonamah is more mobile, with 28.8% of people moving in the last five years, and has a high proportion of people living alone at 37.8%. In contrast, Hughes (NT) is dominated by established homeowners, with 63.6% owning their homes outright. Hughes (NT) also has a much larger share of people performing unpaid care, including 27.8% caring for children and 35.2% doing significant housework, while those figures are far lower in Noonamah.

Both areas are car-dependent and share an almost identical terrain slope of 3.5%. They also show the same lack of public transport use for commuting and a similar typical monthly mortgage payment around $2,200. While Noonamah has more public transport stops and a shorter walk to the nearest one, both areas remain largely disconnected from schools and groceries on foot. Since 2011, the gaps between them in these transport and walkability measures have remained steady.
