Milingimbi West Arnhem

Milingimbi and West Arnhem are both Northern Territory areas with similar populations, but they differ greatly in layout and home life. Milingimbi is a somewhat walkable area where every home is within a 15-minute walk of health services, groceries, schools and parks. In contrast, West Arnhem is car-dependent with no such walkable amenities. Milingimbi has a far higher share of one-parent families (38.9% compared to 11.4% in West Arnhem) and more people rent their homes, at 74.7% versus 47.6% in West Arnhem. Education levels are well higher in Milingimbi, where 27.6% of residents finished Year 12, compared to 17.9% in West Arnhem.

Both areas have tracked closely since 2011, sharing many common traits today. They have the same typical resident age of 27 and nearly identical typical weekly incomes of around $233. The share of children under 15 is also almost the same in both places, at about 24%. This shared young age profile is consistent with the fact that both areas have much higher rates of unpaid childcare than the national figure.
