Daly Drysdale

Daly and Drysdale are very different Northern Territory environments. Daly is a vast, sparsely populated area where 43.2% of people are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 36.0% use a language other than English at home. It is a place of small schools and lower incomes, with a typical weekly personal income of $451. In contrast, Drysdale is a compact, very walkable area with a higher typical weekly personal income of $934 and a larger proportion of people born overseas (19.7%). Drysdale also has much higher levels of education and employment, with 62.6% of adults working or looking for work compared to 43.1% in Daly.

Both areas share very similar rates of volunteering, around 11%, and nearly identical typical monthly home-loan payments of $1,733. While Drysdale is a hub of accessibility with most homes within a short walk of shops and transport, Daly is largely car-dependent. Despite these gaps in infrastructure, several differences have narrowed since 2011, including the gap in typical weekly rents and the difference in the share of people who have completed Year 12.
