Nelson Wanguri

Nelson and Wanguri are two nearby Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Wanguri is a more diverse and urban place, where 33.7% of people were born overseas and 34.0% use a language other than English at home. It is also more highly qualified, with 30.5% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Nelson has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 17.6%. Nelson is also more car-dependent, while Wanguri is somewhat walkable with much better access to parks, shops and health services.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people aged 65 and over. They also share very similar typical weekly household incomes, with Nelson at $2,484 and Wanguri at $2,539.
