Albury Wodonga

Albury and Wodonga are nearby regional centres with some striking differences in infrastructure and safety. Albury has a much larger public transport network, with 469 stops and 67 routes compared to Wodonga's 167 stops and 28 routes. However, Albury has a much higher crime rate overall, with far higher rates of assault, drug offences, and motor vehicle theft. In contrast, Wodonga has more homes within a 15-minute walk of health services, at 55.7% compared to 38.7% in Albury.

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted apart in some key ways, such as a widening gap in the share of people with no religion and a growing preference for separate houses in Wodonga. Yet they remain very similar in other areas. Typical weekly household incomes are nearly identical, at $1,430 in Albury and $1,498 in Wodonga. They also share similar proportions of First Nations people and residents who speak little or no English.
