Fong Lim Goyder

Goyder and Fong Lim are two very different Northern Territory areas. Fong Lim is a diverse, urban hub where 33.1% of people were born overseas and 34.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Goyder is more traditional, with only 14.4% born overseas and 11.8% of adults with a degree. This difference extends to housing; Goyder is dominated by separate houses (93.6%), while Fong Lim is more concentrated, with 47.3% of people living in flats or apartments. Residents in Fong Lim are also much more likely to rent (55.3% compared to 15.8% in Goyder).

These gaps have widened significantly since 2011, particularly regarding education and overseas arrivals. Despite these diverging paths, the two areas share a similar typical weekly income of around $2,300 and nearly identical weekly rents of $400. They also have a similar number of public transport stops. While Fong Lim is somewhat walkable and Goyder is car-dependent, both areas maintain an unemployment rate well below the national figure.
