Areyonga Ilparpa

Ilparpa and Areyonga are two small Northern Territory areas with very different social and economic profiles. Areyonga has a much larger Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population at 89.4% compared to 8.7% in Ilparpa, and a far higher share of people using another language at home (89.0% versus 10.6%). Residents in Ilparpa are far older, with a typical age of 44 compared to 31 in Areyonga, and they generally earn much more; the typical personal weekly income in Ilparpa is $1,296, while in Areyonga it is $232.

Both areas are completely car-dependent, with no homes within a short walk of groceries, health services, or public transport. This shared lack of walkable amenities exists alongside diverging trends in housing and family life. Areyonga has far more large households, with 4.7 people per home compared to 2.5 in Ilparpa, and a much higher rental rate of 82.9%. Since 2011, the gap in typical incomes and education levels between the two places has widened significantly.
