Fannie Bay Nightcliff

Nightcliff and Fannie Bay are neighbouring areas in Darwin with similar population sizes. They differ most in their housing and diversity; Fannie Bay has far more homes with three or more bedrooms (55.7% compared to 45.0% in Nightcliff) and many more schools. Nightcliff is more multicultural, with a higher share of people born overseas (34.9% versus 28.2%) and those using a language other than English at home (30.9% versus 22.4%).

Since 2011, the gaps between these two areas have generally grown. The difference in overseas births and the share of university-qualified adults have both widened, while Fannie Bay has become relatively older and more likely to have households earning over $3,000 a week. Despite these shifts, they remain very similar in other ways, with nearly identical shares of children under 15 and typical weekly household incomes that sit well above the national figure.
