Goyder Katherine

Goyder and Katherine are two sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory with very different profiles. Katherine has a much younger population, with a typical age of 33 compared to 41 in Goyder. It is also more diverse, with 28.3% of residents identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and 19.9% using another language at home, both far higher than Goyder's figures of 8.5% and 7.4%. While Goyder is more car-dependent, Katherine is mostly car-dependent and offers much better access to basics; for example, 75.1% of Katherine homes are within a 15-minute walk of a park, compared to just 3.1% in Goyder.

These two areas share very similar typical weekly incomes of around $1,030 and have almost identical rates of volunteering and military service. However, the gaps between them are often widening. The difference in typical age has grown to 8 years since 2011, and the gap in the share of people using another language at home has increased significantly over the same period.
