Limmen Miniyeri

Miniyeri and Limmen are two distinct areas in the Northern Territory, about 90 km apart. Miniyeri has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (92.8% compared to 11.8% in Limmen) and is much younger, with a typical resident aged 22. This is a family-heavy area where children under 15 make up 29.8% of the population, which helps explain why homes are far more crowded, with an average of 6.1 people per household. In contrast, Limmen is older, with a typical age of 31 and only 1.5% of residents being children.

Daily life in both places shares some similarities, such as typical personal incomes that are nearly identical at around $240 a week. Both areas also have very few people aged 65 and over, and neither has any public transport routes. While Miniyeri has far higher typical household incomes and a far higher share of people working or looking for work, both areas sit well below the national figure for those two measures.
