Katherine Katherine East

Katherine East and Katherine are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory. Katherine East is a family-heavy area where 26.8% of residents are children under 15, and homes are more likely to be larger, with 83% having three or more bedrooms. In contrast, Katherine has a more adult population, with a higher share of people living alone (32.4%) and a more walkable environment. While Katherine East is mostly car-dependent, Katherine is somewhat walkable, with far more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services.

These two areas have tracked closely together since 2011, remaining very similar in their typical weekly household incomes of around $2,060. They share an almost identical school advantage score and have a similar proportion of people in de facto relationships. Both areas also have a high proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents compared to the national figure, though this is well higher in Katherine East at 30.7%.
