Kakadu Point Stuart

Kakadu and Point Stuart are both sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Kakadu has a much larger First Nations population at 53.3%, compared to 11.4% in Point Stuart. It is also a younger place, with a typical resident aged 36 and a far higher share of children under 15. In contrast, Point Stuart is far more likely to have residents working from home (30.0%) and has a much higher typical personal income of $1,104 per week, compared to $746 in Kakadu.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no residents living within a short walk of shops, parks, or health services. This lack of local amenities is a shared trait, as is the fact that nobody in either area commutes using public transport. While Point Stuart's typical weekly rent is far higher at $200, both areas sit well below the national figure for rent.
