This surprises me, since the NT has serious problems (e.g. the unemployment in the surrounding area is ~20%, with occasional townships at about ~8%).
Do you happen to have any insight into why Alice is such an outlier?
I suspect most of the variation comes from the aboriginal population. There are whole villages in the Northern Territory where nobody has a job and everybody lives off welfare.
Edit: Half of the territorians live in Darwin, where the unemployment rate is around 2%.
