Alice Springs Atitjere

Alice Springs and Atitjere (L) are two very different Northern Territory locations. Alice Springs is a larger hub where 26.9% of people were born overseas and a typical family earns $2,476 a week. In contrast, Atitjere (L) is sparsely populated and has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 77.0%. In Atitjere (L), a far higher share of people use another language at home (70.6%) and a typical family earns much less, at $762 a week.

Both areas are similar in that about two-thirds of their homes have three or more bedrooms. While they share this housing trait, other gaps are widening. Alice Springs has become far more likely to have residents born overseas, and the difference in typical weekly income has grown. However, the gap in the share of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has narrowed since 2011.
