Binjari Mataranka

Mataranka and Binjari are two small Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Binjari has a much younger population, with a typical resident aged 25 and 35% of people being children under 15. It is also more heavily Indigenous, with 96.7% of residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. In contrast, Mataranka is far older, with a typical age of 42, and a smaller proportion of children at 12.8%. Mataranka also has a higher share of adults working or looking for work (50.2% compared to 14.3% in Binjari) and a typical weekly household income that is $815 higher.

Both areas are very similar in that almost no one uses public transport to commute. While they share this trait, other gaps have shifted since 2011. The difference in typical age has widened to 17 years, and the gap in household income has grown significantly. Binjari has also become much more distinct in its housing, with 100% of homes now rented and a far higher share of large households, where over half have six or more people.
