Amoonguna Areyonga

Areyonga and Amoonguna are both small, sparsely populated areas in the Northern Territory. Areyonga has a typical weekly household income that is far higher than Amoonguna, at $1,399 compared to $814. Areyonga also has far more people who use another language at home (89.0% versus 69.4%) and a much higher share of people who speak little or no English (12.3% compared to 1.7%). In contrast, Amoonguna has a far higher share of one-parent families (51.5% versus 24.5%) and far more homes with no motor vehicle (60.4% versus 20.9%).

These two places have tracked in opposite directions since 2011, with several gaps flipping. For example, Areyonga now has more people using another language at home and more unpaid carers than Amoonguna, which was not the case a decade ago. They still share a similar lifestyle, as both are car-dependent and have roughly the same typical family income. Both areas also have a very high Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, sitting far above the national figure.
