Port Darwin Wanguri

Port Darwin and Wanguri are nearby areas with very different lifestyles. Port Darwin is a high-density hub where 87.9% of homes are flats or apartments, and 71.9% of households rent. It is a walker's paradise, with 91.3% of homes within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Wanguri is dominated by separate houses (81.4%), and 83.5% of its homes have three or more bedrooms. It has a much younger feel, with 23% of people under 15 compared to just 10.3% in Port Darwin. This is consistent with a higher share of families with children and more people providing unpaid childcare in Wanguri.

These two areas have drifted further apart in several ways since 2011. The gap in renting has widened, and there are now far more people living alone in Port Darwin. The difference in education has also grown, with Port Darwin seeing a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain similar in a few ways, such as having nearly the same number of schools within 3km and almost identical rates of people working from home.
