Karama Wanguri

Wanguri and Karama are neighbouring areas in Darwin with very different social and economic profiles. Wanguri has a much more qualified and higher earning population; 30.5% of adults hold a bachelor degree or higher and the typical weekly household income is $2,539. In contrast, Karama has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 20.5%, compared to 7.2% in Wanguri. Karama also has more family stress, with one-parent families making up 23.4% of households, while Wanguri has a much lower share at 9.8%.

Both areas share a similar family feel, with about 23% of their populations being children under 15. They are also both very well connected to nature, with nearly every home within a 15 minute walk of a park. However, the gaps between them have generally widened since 2011, particularly regarding income and education. This trend is seen in typical weekly household incomes, where the gap has grown from $360 to $793 over the last decade.
