Howard Springs Batchelor

Howard Springs and Batchelor are two small Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Howard Springs is a wealthier area where the typical household earns $3,159 a week and 49.2% of residents have finished Year 12. In contrast, Batchelor has a much lower typical household income of $858 and 26.5% of people have completed Year 12. Batchelor also has a far higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 30.5%, compared to 8.3% in Howard Springs. While Howard Springs is car-dependent, Batchelor is somewhat walkable, with 91.8% of homes within a 15-minute walk of health services.

Since 2011, the gaps between these two places have widened across almost every measure. The difference in typical household income has grown from $287 to $2,301, and the gap in Year 12 completion has increased to 23 percentage points. Despite these diverging paths, the two areas remain similar in other ways.
