Minyerri Elliott

Minyerri and Elliott are two remote Northern Territory areas with very high Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. Minyerri is marked by much larger households, with 71% having six or more people, and a far higher share of residents using a language other than English at home (90.9% compared to 32.8% in Elliott). A huge gap exists in employment and housing: Minyerri has a far higher unemployment rate at 41.3% and a much higher rental rate of 82.6%, while Elliott has no unemployment and a typical weekly household income that is far lower than Minyerri’s $1,812.

Both areas share a very similar typical weekly family income, sitting around $730 to $760. This commonality exists alongside diverging trends; for example, the gap in the number of people in de facto relationships and the share of those with no religion have both widened or flipped since 2011. While both have a typical resident age far younger than the national figure, Elliott's population is noticeably older, with a typical age of 28 compared to 22 in Minyerri.
