Millner Rapid Creek

Rapid Creek and Millner are neighbouring areas in Darwin that differ significantly in their professional and social makeup. Rapid Creek has a much higher share of adults with a bachelor degree (49.3%) and those who completed Year 12 (73.6%), which helps explain why typical weekly personal incomes are well higher there at $1,229. In contrast, Millner has a higher proportion of separate houses (52.5%) and a larger share of people who speak a First Nations language (21.8%). Rapid Creek also sees far more people with no religion (48.5%) and more frequent public transport departures per person than Millner.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the number of people per home, with 2.4 residents in the typical household. This shared residential density exists alongside other commonalities, such as similar typical weekly rents of around $340 to $350. While Rapid Creek has seen more people move in over the last five years, both areas remain well above the national figure for overseas arrivals and people using a language other than English at home.
