Leanyer Lyons

Leanyer and Lyons (NT) are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different housing and household profiles. Lyons (NT) is a young area where the typical resident is 30 and children under 15 make up 29.6% of the population. It is far more likely to have large homes, with 94.7% having three or more bedrooms, and is dominated by renters at 60.7%. In contrast, Leanyer has a noticeably older population with a typical age of 37 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over (13.5%). It is also more likely to have homes owned outright (25.0%) and provides much better access to groceries, with 89.7% of homes within a 15-minute walk compared to 43.5% in Lyons (NT).

Since 2011, these two areas have tracked in similar directions while maintaining their distinct characters. They both share a similar level of school advantage and nearly identical rates of unemployment. Both areas also have almost every home within a 10-minute walk of public transport and a 15-minute walk of a park. While Lyons (NT) has a much higher share of people who served in the Defence Force (20.3%) and higher typical weekly incomes ($2,931), both areas sit well above the national figure for these measures.
