Yulara Mutitjulu

Yulara (L) and Mutitjulu (L) are nearby Northern Territory areas with very different social profiles. Mutitjulu (L) has a much higher Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 83.1% and a far higher share of children under 15 (24.7%). In contrast, Yulara (L) is a hub for people born overseas (23.2%) and those living alone (65.3%). The financial gap is stark, with a typical weekly personal income of $1,019 in Yulara (L) compared to $397 in Mutitjulu (L).

While the income gap has widened since 2011, other differences are shrinking, such as the share of people using another language at home and the proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents. Both areas share the same typical resident age of 30 years. However, they differ in how people live: Mutitjulu (L) is mostly made up of separate houses with three or more bedrooms, while Yulara (L) is dominated by one-bedroom townhouses and flats.
