Daly Gwoja

Daly and Gwoja are both sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory, though they differ significantly in their demographics and housing. Gwoja is much younger, with a typical resident aged 28 compared to 36 in Daly. Gwoja also has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (75.4% versus 43.2% in Daly) and a far higher share of people using another language at home (72.7% versus 36.0%). In contrast, Daly has far more homes owned outright (28.8% versus 3.3%) and a typical weekly family income that is far higher than in Gwoja ($1,201 versus $729).

Everyday life shares several common traits in both places, including a typical weekly rent of $90 and similar numbers of adults working or looking for work. Both areas lack public transport stops and have similar shares of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. While Gwoja is more walkable with more homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries (69.6% versus 12.9%), both areas remain largely car-dependent. Since 2011, the gaps in typical age and language use have widened as Gwoja has become younger and more linguistically diverse.
