Alice Springs Santa Teresa (Ltyentye Purte)

Alice Springs and Santa Teresa (Ltyentye Purte) (L) are two very different Northern Territory locations. Santa Teresa (Ltyentye Purte) (L) has a much higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (93.4%) and more children under 15 (31.0%) than Alice Springs, where these figures are 21.2% and 21.0% respectively. There are also large gaps in income and education; Alice Springs has a far higher share of adults with a bachelor degree (27.5% versus 7.3%) and a much higher typical weekly personal income ($1,130 compared to $274).

Both areas share a similar landscape, with almost identical average terrain slopes. However, most other gaps have widened since 2011.

In Santa Teresa (Ltyentye Purte) (L), the share of people using a language other than English at home is far higher than the national figure, which is also true for Alice Springs, though to a lesser extent.
