Urban Centre comparison ≈ 107 km apart · Amata profile · Yulara profile

Amata Yulara

Yulara (L) and Amata (L) are two distinct remote areas with very different social profiles. Amata (L) has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population (93.1% compared to 20.9% in Yulara (L)) and a far higher share of children under 15 (27.7% versus 6.3%). This is reflected in the homes, where Amata (L) has much larger households with a typical 4.0 people per home and many more three-bedroom houses. Yulara (L) is a more transient hub, where 66.2% of people moved there in the last five years and many more residents live alone (65.3%). The typical weekly family income in Yulara (L) is far higher at $2,308, compared to $664 in Amata (L).

Since 2011, these two areas have grown further apart across most measures. The gaps in typical income, unemployment, and the share of people who have finished Year 12 have all widened. Despite these diverging paths, they share some basic realities of remote life; both are mostly car-dependent and about the same share of people in each area live in homes without a motor vehicle (around 41%).
