Litchfield Park Rum Jungle

Rum Jungle and Litchfield Park are both sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. They differ sharply in age and income; Rum Jungle is much older, with a typical resident aged 55 and 27.3% of people aged 65 or over. Litchfield Park is younger, with a typical age of 38. Incomes are also very different, as the typical weekly household income in Litchfield Park is $1,875, which is far higher than the $624 seen in Rum Jungle.

Both areas are nearly identical in their lack of walkable infrastructure, with no homes within a 15-minute walk of public transport, parks, schools or shops. This shared isolation is consistent with how they both track against the national figure for health, as about 21% of residents in each area live with a long-term health condition. While they share these traits, Litchfield Park has seen more recent movement, with 45.5% of people moving in the last five years compared to just 11.9% in Rum Jungle.
