First Nations people here are noticeably younger than the national figure, with a typical age of 21. This group has a strong cultural connection, as 79.8% speak a First Nations language, which is far above the national rate. However, unemployment is among the highest for similar areas at 55.2%, and Year 12 completion is far below the state average at 12.7%.
Most homes are very close to health services, groceries, and schools, which helps explain why 94.9% of the area is considered a 15-minute-city walkshed. Despite this local accessibility, no homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, and the overall walkability score of 4.3 is a little below the Territory average.
