Koolpinyah vs Point Stuart

Point Stuart and Koolpinyah are both sparsely populated areas of the Northern Territory. Point Stuart has a small population of 35 people and is home to 4 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which is far larger than in Koolpinyah where there are none. Koolpinyah is more developed in terms of facilities, with two schools within 3 km compared to none in Point Stuart, and a far higher share of homes within a 15-minute walk of a school (12.5% versus 0.0%).

Both areas have tracked similarly since 2011, remaining very quiet and largely non-residential. They are effectively alike in their lack of local services, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries, health services, or parks. Both are car-dependent, as neither area has any public transport stops or routes.
