Nganmarriyanga (Palumpa) Timber Creek

Nganmarriyanga (Palumpa) and Timber Creek are two small Northern Territory areas with very different profiles. Nganmarriyanga (Palumpa) is much younger, with a typical age of 22, and has a far higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (90.1%) compared to Timber Creek (55.8%). This younger population helps explain why Nganmarriyanga (Palumpa) has far more children under 15 (35.2%) and more people per home (5.9). In contrast, Timber Creek has far higher typical incomes, with weekly household earnings of $2,055 compared to $819 in Nganmarriyanga (Palumpa).

Many of these gaps have shifted since 2011, as the two areas have tracked in opposite directions.
