Drysdale Spillett

Spillett and Drysdale are neighbouring areas in the Northern Territory with very different housing and income profiles. Spillett is characterized by larger detached houses, with 87% being separate houses and 89.5% having three or more bedrooms. It also has a more affluent population, where 33.5% of households earn $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, Drysdale has more apartments and smaller homes, with 28.2% of people living alone and a much higher share of one-parent families at 27.3%.

The gap in separate housing has widened since 2011, reflecting the different ways these two areas are growing. Despite this, they share some common ground, such as having almost identical numbers of public transport stops and a similar share of people who speak little or no English. While Spillett is more mobile, with 64.1% of people moving in the last five years, Drysdale is far more convenient for pedestrians, as 95.7% of homes are in a 15-minute-city walkshed.
