Kintore Lake Mackay

Kintore and Lake Mackay are both in the Northern Territory, but they differ greatly in scale and population. Kintore is a small community where 90.7% of people are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 25.7% are children under 15. In contrast, Lake Mackay is sparsely populated and largely non-residential, with a typical weekly family income of $2,249, which is far higher than the $671 seen in Kintore. Kintore is also more walkable, with a score of 4.2 (somewhat walkable), while Lake Mackay is car-dependent.

A significant gap continues to widen in how people spend their time and earn their living. In Lake Mackay, 66.7% of adults are working or looking for work, compared to just 27.3% in Kintore. This is consistent with a larger difference in education, as 54.2% of Lake Mackay residents finished Year 12, while only 10.7% did in Kintore. Both areas share very similar school advantage scores and have no residents who served in the Defence Force.
