Lyons Wanguri

Lyons (NT) and Wanguri are neighbouring suburbs in Darwin with distinct profiles. Lyons (NT) is a young area where the typical resident is 30 and 29.6% of people are children under 15. It is a highly transient place, with 61.6% of residents moving in during the last five years, and is marked by a strong military presence, with 20.3% of people having served in the Defence Force. In contrast, Wanguri is older, with a typical resident aged 39 and a higher share of people aged 65 and over. Wanguri is more walkable, with a very walkable score of 7.9 compared to the somewhat walkable 5.3 in Lyons (NT), and every home there is within a 15-minute walk of groceries.

These two areas share a few common traits, including nearly identical rates of volunteering and a similar share of people who use another language at home. However, the gap in home ownership is stark and has shifted over time; while 60.7% of homes in Lyons (NT) are rented, 26.5% of Wanguri homes are owned outright. This is consistent with the higher number of people in Lyons (NT) who rent and the higher typical weekly income for First Nations households there, which is $2,625 compared to $1,437 in Wanguri.
