Hermannsburg Yuendumu

Yuendumu and Hermannsburg are both remote Northern Territory areas with populations between 551 and 740 people. Yuendumu is more walkable, with 98.4% of homes in a 15-minute-city walkshed and 99.5% within walking distance of health services, compared to 81.3% for both in Hermannsburg. There are also notable differences in beliefs and education; no religion is far more common in Yuendumu (31.4% compared to 8.9%), while 24.2% of Yuendumu residents completed Year 12, which is well higher than the 14.7% in Hermannsburg.

These two places share many similarities, including the same typical weekly rent of $90 and an identical 3.9 people per home. Both areas have very high shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and those who use a language other than English at home. While they track closely in typical income and household size, the gap in the number of homes without a motor vehicle has widened, with this now far more common in Hermannsburg.
