Barkly Braitling

Braitling and Barkly are two very different Northern Territory areas located over 500 km apart. Braitling is a more affluent and highly educated hub where 29.7% of adults have a bachelor degree and the typical weekly personal income is $1,144. In contrast, Barkly has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 64.5%, while the typical weekly personal income is much lower at $446.
