Darwin Batchelor

Darwin and Batchelor (L) are two distinct Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Darwin is a much larger hub where typical weekly household incomes are far higher at $2,187, compared to $858 in Batchelor (L). Darwin also has a more qualified workforce, with 27.9% of adults holding a bachelor degree or higher, while that figure is 11.1% in Batchelor (L). In contrast, Batchelor (L) has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents at 30.5%, compared to 10.7% in Darwin.

The gap in educational attainment has widened since 2011, but the two areas share some common ground. Both have a similar share of children under 15 and a similar percentage of people who identify as having no religion. While Darwin is very walkable and Batchelor (L) is somewhat walkable, both areas have a similar share of people who need help with daily activities, which sits near the national figure.
