09.01.2022 COST OF LIVING Survey findings published - What You Had to Say This survey was conducted and compiled by COTA NT to determine trends and patterns in the liv...es of the senior Territorians and to collect data on some of the issues faced by senior Territorians. The survey - answered by 157 seniors aged over 50 living in Darwin, Katherine and Alice Springs - helped reveal some essential details about senior Territorians including demographics, residency status, and where they are planning to live in the future. It also shows concerns about employment and annual income of seniors and self-rated financial security; lastly the expenses that seniors are facing that are impacting their cost of living.
