Brennan Sanderson

Brennan and Sanderson are two residential areas in the Northern Territory with different social and physical layouts. Brennan is a younger area, where the typical resident is 31 and 25.2% of people are children under 15. It has a much higher rental rate at 43.7% and a very high proportion of people who have moved in within the last five years (53.4%). In contrast, Sanderson is more established, with a typical age of 37 and a far higher share of homes owned outright (25.1% compared to 10.8% in Brennan). Sanderson also has significantly more public transport stops and a much higher share of people who speak a language other than English at home (25.9%).

Both areas are very similar in terms of their typical household incomes and the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. While they share these economic and cultural traits, the gap in home ownership has narrowed since 2011. Meanwhile, the difference in language diversity has widened over the same period, as Sanderson has seen a higher increase in people born overseas.
