Language is a strong point here, as 91.5% of people speak a First Nations language, far above the national figure. However, the community faces significant hardships, with a 40.4% unemployment rate and only 10% of people completing Year 12, both far below the rest of the country.
The area is entirely car-dependent, with a walkability score of 0.2 and no homes within walking distance of schools, shops, or health services. This is far below the Northern Territory average and is compounded by a steeper terrain slope of 9.0%.
