Alyangula Gapuwiyak

Alyangula and Gapuwiyak are two Northern Territory areas with very different social and economic profiles. Gapuwiyak is a predominantly Indigenous community, where 91.5% of residents are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, while only 5.5% are in Alyangula. The two areas also differ sharply in wealth and education; the typical weekly household income in Alyangula is $3,333, far higher than the $1,766 in Gapuwiyak, and a far higher share of adults in Alyangula hold a bachelor degree (24.6% compared to 5.7%).

Everyday life in both places is similar in some ways, such as the share of people with a mental health condition, which is about 3.6% in both. However, many other gaps have widened since 2011. For example, the difference in people working or looking for work has grown, with 76% in Alyangula and only 25.2% in Gapuwiyak. The gap in car ownership has also increased, as 60.7% of Gapuwiyak homes have no motor vehicle, compared to just 5.6% in Alyangula.
