499 or less Remainder of State/Territory

Remainder of State/Territory and 499 or less are two very different areas. 499 or less has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 78.0%, compared to 29.1% in Remainder of State/Territory. It is also far more likely for people to use a language other than English at home (68.7% versus 23.1%). Financial gaps are stark; the typical weekly family income in Remainder of State/Territory is $2,121, which is far higher than the $784 typical in 499 or less.
