Lee Point Milikapiti

Milikapiti and Lee Point are two very different Northern Territory areas. Milikapiti is a young community where 94.2% of residents are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, and children under 15 make up 23.7% of the population. This is a place of large households, with an average of 3.4 people per home, and 89.2% of dwellings are rented. In contrast, Lee Point is sparsely populated and far older, with a typical resident aged 62 and 34% of people aged 65 or over. Most of its residents own their homes outright (81.8%), and 60.6% of people live alone.

These two areas have tracked in opposite directions since 2011. While Milikapiti remains a young area with many children, Lee Point has become one of the oldest areas at this level. They share very little in terms of daily infrastructure, as neither has any public transport departures or a single household earning $3,000 or more a week. The two areas also differ greatly in their origins, as 29.8% of Lee Point residents were born overseas compared to no one in Milikapiti.
