List of places in the Northern Territory by population
 .jpg) The Northern Territory is a self-governing territory of Australia. It has a population of 232,605 as of the 2021 Australian census,[1] the most recent census for which data has been released,[2] and occupies an area of 1,347,791 square kilometres (520,385 sq mi).[3] Official population statistics are published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), which conducts a census every five years.[2] The ABS publishes data for various types of geographic structures, including urban centres and localities, which represent the built-up area of cities and towns with more than 200 people, and local government areas.[4] Urban centres and localities by populationStatistical Areas Level 1 (SA1s) are areas that subdivide all of Australia. SA1s generally have a population between 200 and 800 people, but this can reach as low as 180 for small towns and 90 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.[5] Urban centres and localities (UCLs) are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as clusters of urban SA1s. Clusters with a population higher than 1,000 are considered urban centres and clusters with a population between 200 and 999 are considered localities. The population of a locality is allowed to fall below 200 for two consecutive censuses before it is declassified as a locality.[6] The largest UCL within the Northern Territory is Darwin, with a population of 122,207 at the 2021 census. There are a total of 70 UCLs in the Northern Territory as of 2021, of which twelve have a population above 1,000.[7] Local government areas by populationThe Northern Territory is divided into 17 local government areas plus several unincorporated areas.[214] Local government area boundaries are set by an independent local government representation review committee, which consists of the Northern Territory's electoral commissioner, surveyor-general, and the chief executive officer of the Local Government Association of the Northern Territory.[215] The Australian Bureau of Statistics uses an approximation of these boundaries for its statistics.[216] The largest local government area within the Northern Territory is the City of Darwin, with a population of 80,530 as of the 2021 census.[217] See also
