Katherine Venn

Katherine and Venn are two nearby Northern Territory areas with very different layouts and populations. Katherine is a more developed hub, where a typical resident is more likely to hold a bachelor's degree (23.0%) and 21.5% of the population is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. In contrast, Venn is more rural and has a much higher share of people born overseas (38.1%) and a larger proportion of residents who work in agriculture, forestry and fishing (73.5%). Katherine is somewhat walkable, with most homes within a 15-minute walk of shops and health services, while Venn is car-dependent.

Both areas sit close to the national figure for people who identify as having no religion, though this is far higher in Katherine (39.2%) than in Venn (17.5%). They share a similar typical household weekly income, sitting around $2,100. Since 2011, the gap in First Nations personal income has remained wide, with the typical figure far higher in Venn ($1,562) than in Katherine ($596).
