Albany Katanning

Albany and Katanning are both regional Western Australian centres, but they differ significantly in demographics and resources. Albany is an older area, with a typical resident aged 45 and 23.3% of people aged 65 and over. It has a higher share of university degrees (15.5%) and is far more connected to public transport, with 71.8% of homes within a 10-minute walk of a stop. Katanning is younger and more diverse, with 19.4% of people using another language at home and a much higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 18.0%. It also has a larger First Nations population, at 8.8%.

Since 2011, the gap between the two has grown in several areas. The difference in the typical age of residents has widened to six years, and more people in Albany now report having no religion compared to Katanning. Despite these shifts, the two areas remain very similar in their typical weekly household incomes, which are almost identical at around $1,350. They also share similar levels of volunteerism, with about 20% to 21% of residents giving their time to others.
