Muirhead Tiwi

Muirhead and Tiwi are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different profiles. Muirhead is a young, family-oriented area where 28.5% of residents are children and the typical age is just 29. It has a high proportion of people born overseas (41.9%) and a more affluent population, with 43.7% of households earning $3,000 or more per week. In contrast, Tiwi is older and more varied; the typical resident is 40, and 19.6% of people are aged 65 and over. Tiwi also has more people living alone (27.6%) and a higher share of flats and apartments.

Both areas are almost identical when it comes to the percentage of people who speak little or no English. They also share similar school sizes and a near-universal proximity to parks. While Muirhead's population is more mobile, with 64.4% moving in the last five years, Tiwi is much better connected by public transport, with far more stops and weekly departures per 1,000 people.
