Blain Spillett

Spillett and Blain are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory with very different layouts. Spillett is more spread out, with a far higher share of separate houses (87.0%) and larger homes, as 89.5% have three or more bedrooms. It also has a more mobile population, with 64.1% of people moving in the last five years, and a higher proportion of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (23.5%). Blain is much more compact and urban, where almost every home is within a 15-minute walk of a park, school or public transport.

The gap in housing types has widened since 2011, with Spillett seeing a further increase in separate houses compared to Blain. Despite this, the two areas share a similar feel in other ways, such as having roughly the same number of people per home. They also both have a higher share of people who do not identify with any religion than the national figure.
