Albany Plantagenet

Albany and Plantagenet are two Western Australian areas with very different levels of accessibility. Albany is somewhat walkable, with 71.8% of homes within 10 minutes of public transport and 46.6% within a 15-minute walk of groceries. In contrast, Plantagenet is car-dependent, where only 7.4% of homes are near public transport and 20.0% are within easy walking distance of shops. This difference extends to their services; Albany has far more schools and a higher share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher at 15.5% compared to 12.1% in Plantagenet.

These two areas share many demographic traits, with nearly identical proportions of people born overseas (19.2%) and children under 15. While they are similar in these ways, other gaps are widening. Residents in Plantagenet are noticeably older, with a typical age of 48 compared to 45 in Albany, and this age gap has grown since 2011. At the same time, the difference in education levels has also increased, as the gap for those who completed Year 12 has widened since 2011.
