Johnston Wanguri

Wanguri and Johnston are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different layouts. Wanguri is a wealthier area where the typical household income is $2,539 and 34.5% of homes earn $3,000 or more a week. It is also more suburban, with 81.4% of homes being separate houses and 83.5% having three or more bedrooms. Johnston is much more urban; nearly all homes are within a 15-minute walk of groceries and health services, and it has a far higher number of public transport stops and departures per 1,000 people.

Both areas sit near the national figure for people who speak little or no English. They also share very similar levels of university education, with about 30% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. Since 2011, the gaps between them have generally widened. This is most clear in housing and income, with Wanguri seeing a larger increase in the share of high-earning households and larger homes compared to Johnston.
