Numbulwar Umbakumba

Numbulwar and Umbakumba are two remote Northern Territory areas with very high First Nations populations. Numbulwar has a typical weekly household income of $1,257, which is far higher than the $436 seen in Umbakumba. Other big differences relate to faith and home life; 58.0% of people in Umbakumba have no religion, compared to only 8.1% in Numbulwar. Numbulwar also has far more people doing 15 or more hours of unpaid housework (52.7% versus 15.6% in Umbakumba) and far more who walk to work.

Both areas are effectively alike in that almost every resident speaks a First Nations language, and neither has any public transport. The gap in Year 12 completion is far higher in Numbulwar, where 24.9% of residents finished school compared to 13.8% in Umbakumba. Both areas sit far below the national figure for this measure, but Numbulwar's higher rate is consistent with its higher typical incomes and the fact that more of its residents hold certificates or degrees.
