Maningrida Minjilang

Maningrida and Minjilang (L) are two remote Northern Territory areas separated by about 208 km. Maningrida is much larger, with 2,518 people compared to 265 in Minjilang (L). There are notable differences in their social and economic profiles; for example, Maningrida has a far higher share of people who speak little or no English (16.4% compared to 6.0%) and a far higher rate of full-time employment (58.5% compared to 43.3%). Maningrida also has a far higher share of people providing unpaid care (13.0% compared to 2.7%) and those caring for children unpaid (64.8% versus 46.8%).

Both areas share a very similar daily reality, with typical residents in both places being around 26 or 27 years old and roughly 90% of the population identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. This is consistent with how they track against the national figure for public transport use, where Maningrida's 4.1% is only a little above the Australian average. While some gaps are closing, such as the difference in the share of people doing unpaid housework, other divides have widened, including the gap in the share of people who speak little or no English.
