Daly Katherine

Daly and Katherine are two Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Daly has a much higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (43.2%) and those using a language other than English at home (36.0%). In contrast, Katherine is wealthier, with a typical weekly household income of $2,026 compared to $1,245 in Daly. Katherine also has a more qualified workforce, with 42.0% of residents completing Year 12, while only 30.4% have done so in Daly.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have often grown, particularly for typical incomes and rent. However, the difference in the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and those speaking other languages at home has narrowed. Both areas remain similar in other ways, such as the share of one-parent families and the fact that both are largely car-dependent, with no public transport stops per 1,000 people.
