Albany Plantagenet

Albany and Plantagenet are two distinct Western Australian areas located about 51 km apart. Albany is a very walkable hub where 74.9% of homes are within a 15-minute walk of the city, and 32.7% of households rent. In contrast, Plantagenet is car-dependent, with 96.9% of residents living in separate houses and only 19.1% renting. Albany is also more mobile, with 42.7% of people moving in the last five years compared to 30.7% in Plantagenet.

These two areas share a very similar profile in many ways, including typical weekly household incomes of $1,246 in Albany and $1,181 in Plantagenet. They also have similar proportions of people working or looking for work and nearly identical shares of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents.
