Braitling Namatjira

Namatjira and Braitling are two different Northern Territory locations separated by nearly 200km. Namatjira is a large area where the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is far higher at 45.6%. In contrast, Braitling is a smaller, more urban place where typical weekly rents are far higher at $380, compared to $180 in Namatjira. Braitling also has a more qualified workforce, with a far higher share of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher (29.7% compared to 15.3% in Namatjira).

These two areas share a very similar age profile, with the typical resident in both places being 34. They also have nearly identical shares of children under 15 and people living alone. While they are alike in these ways, other gaps have grown; the difference in Year 12 completion and the number of people working or looking for work have both increased since 2011. Braitling is also more walkable (somewhat walkable) than Namatjira (mostly car-dependent).
