Victoria River Yarralin

Yarralin and Victoria River are two distinct areas in the Northern Territory. Yarralin has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 88.3%, compared to 24.6% in Victoria River. It is also a much younger place, with 29.3% of people under 15, while Victoria River has only 13.5%. These differences are reflected in income and employment; the typical weekly personal income in Victoria River is $955, far higher than the $301 seen in Yarralin, where unemployment is also far higher at 35.1%.

Daily life in both areas is very similar in some ways, as residents in both places are typically 24 years old. Both areas have almost no public transport use and very few people with bachelor degrees. These commonalities exist even as other gaps shift; for example, the difference in the proportion of people who have moved in the last five years has grown, with Victoria River now far higher at 52.1% compared to 41.6% in Yarralin.
