Albany Denmark

Albany and Denmark are both regional Western Australian areas with distinct profiles. Albany is more developed and accessible, with a walkability score of 4.1 (somewhat walkable) and far more public transport stops and departures. In contrast, Denmark is mostly car-dependent, with a score of 2.1, but has a more highly qualified workforce and a higher share of adults with bachelor degrees (23.5% compared to 15.5% in Albany). There are also significant gaps in First Nations outcomes; Year 12 completion is far higher in Denmark (51.3%) than in Albany (25.7%), while First Nations unemployment is far higher in Albany (13.5% compared to 0.0% in Denmark).

Everyday life shares many similarities in both places, as they have almost identical shares of people earning $2,000 or more a week (8.2%) and similar household sizes. Both areas have populations that are older than the national figure, though residents are noticeably older in Denmark. Since 2011, some of these differences have been shifting, with the gaps narrowing for typical age, the share of people born overseas, and the proportion of people with no religion.
