Pine Creek
402 km²
A massive gap in basic services marks the daily experience of Pine Creek, where some residents live far from essential shops despite being near other hubs. This community in the Victoria Daly region is sparsely populated across its 402.1 square kilometres. It is defined by a very young First Nations population and a landscape that remains mostly dependent on cars for travel. While some homes are close to health services, the lack of nearby groceries makes the area distinct from the rest of the territory.

First Nations residents here are noticeably younger than the national figure, with a typical age of 23. While 60.6% speak a First Nations language—far above the Australian average—only 7.7% have finished Year 12, which is far below both the state and national figures.
Many homes are within a 15-minute walk of health services, schools, and parks, but no one is within walking distance of groceries or public transport. This lack of basic amenities means the walkability score is 3.9, which is well below the Northern Territory average.
