Darwin Humpty Doo

Darwin and Humpty Doo (L) are nearby Northern Territory areas with very different characters. Darwin is a very walkable urban hub where 29.9% of people were born overseas and 26.2% use another language at home. It has a highly qualified workforce, with 27.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher. In contrast, Humpty Doo (L) is mostly car-dependent and more residential, where separate houses are far more common at 75.6% compared to 58.8% in Darwin. Renting is also far more common in Darwin, where 47.7% of households rent, compared to just 22.8% in Humpty Doo (L).

Both areas sit close to the national figure for people who say they have no religion, at 40.9% for Darwin and 45.5% for Humpty Doo (L). They also share similar typical family incomes of around $2,400 a week and identical unemployment rates of 4.1%. While the typical age in both places is lower than the national figure, the gap between them has narrowed since 2011. However, other divides have grown, with Darwin becoming increasingly more diverse and highly qualified than Humpty Doo (L) over the last decade.
