Snowy Mountains Albury

Albury and Snowy Mountains are both regional New South Wales areas, but Albury is much more developed in terms of infrastructure. Albury has far more public transport options, with 7.13 stops per 1,000 people compared to 4.30 in Snowy Mountains. This better connectivity is reflected in the walkability of the two areas; for example, 72.5% of Albury homes are within a 10-minute walk of public transport, while only 45.3% of homes in Snowy Mountains have the same access. Albury also has far more schools and larger average school sizes, with 308 students per school compared to 172 in Snowy Mountains.

Both areas have a nearly identical proportion of residents aged 65 and over, at 20%. While they share similar typical weekly incomes and home sizes, some gaps have grown since 2011. The share of households earning $3,000 or more a week is now well higher in Snowy Mountains, and more people there have finished Year 12. Meanwhile, Albury has a higher rate of people caring for children unpaid, a gap that has also widened over time.
